News: Trio secure agency roles for Harworth Estates

By

Harworth Estates has appointed Knight Frank, Gent Visick and Innes England to provide full agency and development advice across its Yorkshire and Midlands property portfolio.

A specialist in brownfield regeneration, Harworth Estates, which is based on its own flagship Waverley development in Rotherham, is one of the largest property and regeneration companies working in the North of England and the Midlands. Its extensive portfolio consists of a total of 27,000 acres across 200 sites. It is wholly owned by Harworth Group plc which was created through the complex restructure of what was UK Coal.

Harworth's sizeable assets include the flagship Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) at Waverley in Rotherham; the multi let Sinfin Lane Industrial Estate in Derby; rail-connected sites such as Asfordby Business Park in Melton and Gascoigne Interchange in North Yorkshire; and Gateway 36, a burgeoning commercial development where Harworth is speculatively developing a 75,000 sq. ft unit which is due to practically complete in Autumn 2016.

The developers works closely with local communities, public bodies, developers and other professionals to bring life to old brownfield sites and turns derelict land and property into places where people want to be - comprising employment areas, new homes, low carbon energy and environmental projects.

Rebecca Schofield, partner at the Sheffield office of Knight Frank which will collaborate with colleagues in Leeds and Birmingham on the Harworth portfolio, said: "The Knight Frank team is proud to have been appointed for this prestigious agency instruction, which fits well with our coverage across the Yorkshire and the Midlands regions. We look forward to working with Harworth across its varied commercial portfolio."

The opportunity to be part of a team working on such a diverse portfolio represents a fantastic challenge which we are looking forward to getting stuck into."

Nick Hosking, director from Innes England, said: "We are extremely pleased to have been appointed to provide agency services across the Midlands, on what is a vast and varied portfolio. Given our coverage across the region, alongside our combined experience and expertise across the full spectrum of commercial property sectors, we feel we are well positioned to work alongside Knight Frank in order to add value to our client’s significant portfolio."
