Ifor Williams Trailers is set to expand its Deeside operations after signing a deal for three new industrial units on Zone 1 of Deeside Industrial Estate at Drome Road. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Deeside Regeneration Limited, a joint venture company between Maple Grove Developments and Trebor Developments has exchanged contracts with Ifor Williams Trailers Limited for the sale of all three new industrial buildings upon completion. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Built by Eric Wright Construction, the three units provide 84,000 sq ft of accommodation in total, within a quality multi-unit development. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Andrew Dewhurst, director at Maple Grove Developments, continued: “Realising there was pent up demand for high quality units of this size in Deeside, we took the decision to speculatively develop and, in doing so, have helped support the continued expansion of a highly successful company.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Minister for Economy and North Wales Ken Skates concluded: “I’m pleased to see that this development has been take up so quickly, and that it will benefit an existing company.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“This proves the importance of having investment ready sites and premises to support indigenous business growth and development in line with our Property Delivery Plan and Economic Action Plan. ” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“It’s positive to see this happening in Deeside with Welsh Government support.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
