TWO companies have secured office space in Birchwood.

Orbit Developments, a commercial property company, announced that Lovell Homes and Time Finance PLC have taken up office space in the area.

Lovell Homes has taken 8,450 sq. ft of office space at Innovation House, Daten Park, while Time Finance PLC has secured 4,799 sq. ft at 1 The Square.

Orbit Developments supplies nearly 400,000 sq. ft of office space in Birchwood, contributing to the area's total office supply of approximately 2.6 million sq. ft.

Joint letting agent Simon Roddam of BE Group said: "BE Group have worked closely with these occupiers to find the right property solution.

"Both occupiers have prioritised having good transport links to service both their regional territories, and equally provide their staff an attractive and accessible office to commute to and from."

Tyler Costello, senior portfolio surveyor at Orbit Developments, said: "We are pleased to secure such great companies within our Warrington office portfolio.

"Aside from their locational considerations, Lovell Homes and Time Finance also had a strong focus on ESG.

"Through our joined-up approach we have undertaken many enhancements to their new office spaces to help them achieve their environmental goals.

"This includes expanding the electric vehicle charge point provision and facilitating a comprehensive refurbishment of the building to include new energy efficient services throughout.

"It will be great to see them thriving in their new space."

Amy Selfe, associate director of Landwood who brokered the deal for Time Finance, said: “For businesses growing as quickly as Time Finance, it’s essential to rely on experts for this strategic office relocation to ensure they can focus on what they do best; all while still securing the right site at the best possible deal. 

"With our team’s extensive expertise in commercial property and office relocations, we’re proud to have managed every detail, ensuring a seamless transition and a space ready to support both their current and future ambitions.”

These lettings show Warrington’s growth as a hub of innovation and economic performance, recognised by the Centre for Cities as one of the UK’s top performers.

In 2023 alone, the town attracted £97 million in investment across the office, industrial, and retail sectors.

Projects like the redevelopment of the Birchwood Community Hub, the opening of the Living Well Hub, and the launch of 105 all-electric buses this year show Warrington’s commitment to well-being and sustainability.
