GLOBAL GLASS MANUFACTURER MOVES TO CHESTERFORD RESEARCH PARK

Glassworks International Ltd, a global glass manufacturer, which has been producing high quality glass products for over 60 years, has taken Suite12 at Chesterford Research Park’s Mansion House.

Glassworks joins a number of organisations, including Cellcentric and Cambridge Healthcare & Biotech that have recently moved to the park to take advantage of its flexible space and to be part of a growing scientific community.

The Mansion House is an imposing period building that offers views over the arboretum at Chesterford Research Park, combined with exceptional on-site management and security provision.

Paul Morgan, Managing Director, at Glassworks said: “We believe that Chesterford offers a fantastic location with state-of-the-art facilities, such as the convenient gym and restaurant based at the hub of the Park known as The Nucleus.”

The Mansion House has been totally refurbished by Chesterford Research Park’s developers Churchmanor Estates Plc and Morley Fund Management, after they felt the number and varying size of the individual rooms in the 19th century property would be ideal to meet demand from start up or associated companies.

Martin Sylvester, Director at the Churchmanor Estates Plc comments: “At Chesterford we feel it’s important to offer a broad range of accommodation with associated facilities and to make provision for a range of companies at varying stages of development. The letting of the Mansion House is progressing well and we are delighted to welcome Glassworks to the Park.”

Units in the Mansion House are available to companies looking for smaller office suites on flexible leases. Tenants will also benefit from the unrivalled facilities provided at Chesterford, including the gymnasium, health suite, 7 hole par three golf course, shop, restaurant, chauffer driven transport, coffee and social bar. Unit sizes range from 342 sq ft to 1,869 sq ft, although these can be combined to form larger suites to suit individual requirements.

This latest news closely follows the announcement that Illumina Inc, one of the World’s leading developers, manufacturers and marketers of next generation life-science tools and integrated systems, is establishing its new European headquarters at Chesterford.
