Together, the new units will form Centenary Court, which has been named to commemorate the 100-year-old family business and will regenerate an existing site on Moss Industrial Estate. The new units, which are built to the highest specification, are spacious, light and energy efficient, ranging from 3,880 sq ft to 5,000 sq ft, complete with solar panels and electric car charging.

GM Property Management has been appointed as the main contractor of Centenary Court, which has engaged many local suppliers and created around 40 local jobs. Centenary Court is due for completion in September 2024 and four of the six units are still available to let.
