UKP Worldwide set to relocate to Westcott Venture Park as part of expansion

“Westcott Venture Park is a fantastic location for our business, providing us with an exceptional working environment that is strategically located and most importantly can accommodate our ongoing growth.

“We look forward to moving to the Park and utilising the services of Westcott based businesses and being able to provide our services to other onsite businesses.”

Park owners PATRIZIA is carrying out building works at Unit 12 Century Court to extend the first floor offices with the 10-year lease agreement set to complete later this year.

Joanna Kearvell, Head of Agency at Chandler Garvey, who acted on behalf of PATRIZIA to agree the new lease with UKPW, said: “We are delighted to have agreed terms with UKPW and I am sure their business will thrive within the Westcott Venture Park.”
