New ‘business park’ to create space for 250 workers

PLANS have been unveiled to transform the former Tool & Gauge building on the Marston Trading Estate into the ‘Frome Business Park’, offering a work space for 250 people.

Construction began at the beginning of the year and is scheduled to be completed in early 2019. DNA Worldwide Group, the company behind the new ‘business park’, says that Frome is ‘lacking in office space’ and that the new space will help towards solving this problem.

The building will act as a collaborative technology hub for the South West – offering office spaces to lease, high spec meeting rooms, wellbeing facilities and a café.

One of the directors of DNA Worldwide Group, Hannah Modern, says, “The park will transform business and community within Frome, offering a space that truly supports people in business. The area is already thriving in many aspects such as the Frome Independent Market, and this building aims to deliver an opportunity for additional growth within the business community.

“Only a quarter of those who live in Frome also work in Frome; this park offers an incredible opportunity to change that trend, generate more local jobs and keep the community of Frome thriving.”

Frome Business Park is offering tailor-made spaces for businesses that commit early, allowing them to work with the designers to custom-build the space they are looking for. The park will provide a handful of small offices with the focus for those businesses looking for a six-person office upwards.

The team has already signed up a number of firms to take space and are welcoming those who are considering moving or looking at space, to get it touch before the building is full.
