SYCAMORE COURT HAS FRENCH CONNECTION

29th July 2011

Northern Trust has recently welcomed Aures Technology Ltd to their 46,000 sq ft Sycamore Court estate. The French company has leased Unit 2 totalling 7,890 sq ft on the Manor Park scheme in Runcorn on a 5 year deal.

Founded in 1989 the Aures Group designs and manufactures complete ranges of point of sale terminals (EPOS equipment) and related products which are marketed under the POSLIGNE brand. Aures UK is one of the Group’s three subsidiaries and services the UK from its new premises in Runcorn.

Dean Challinor, UK Sales Manager at Aures commented “We had been in the process of searching for suitable office and warehousing premises to continue with our business expansion for some time. Sycamore Court fits our requirements perfectly due to location – ideal for the motorway networks, and the increase in office and stock holding capabilities, all enabling Aures to continue to service our clients to the highest level.

Sycamore Court is now home to 8 companies, following this latest letting secured by Whittle Jones, agents acting on behalf of Northern Trust. There now remains just one available unit on the estate.

Dean Challinor continued “We were extremely impressed with the complete service Whittle Jones gave during the whole process, making it as painless a process as possible.”

Katie Bibby, Assistant Surveyor at Whittle Jones, agents acting on behalf of Northern Trust added “We are delighted to have secured the letting of an acclaimed international company such as Aures Technologies Ltd at Sycamore Court. The location, high quality accommodation and flexible terms have provided the ideal incentive for Aures Technology to relocate to the estate and continue their UK portfolio expansion. With strong interest in the remaining unit, we are hopeful to be able to announce the full occupancy of the estate in the near future.”

Sycamore Court comprises a high quality industrial development situated on the flagship Manor Park estate which covers 300 acres between Warrington and Runcorn. Benefiting from landscaped boulevards and low level density of buildings, major occupiers on the Park include Lidl and Yokogowa. Sycamore Court is located off Warrington Road in the heart of Manor Park, adjacent to the A558 Daresbury Expressway, which in turn provides access to Junction 11 of the M56.

Runcorn and Warrington benefit from main line intercity links to London and with Liverpool Airport just 16 minutes drive away, Sycamore Court really does offer the ideal base for companies wishing to expand or relocate in the area.
