Sam Jamieson, of global property consultancy Knight Frank in Leeds, said: “This is the second deal we have completed at Calder Park within the past two weeks, which is tremendous going and a resounding endorsement of a first-class business park.

“These are challenging times for everyone, because of Covid-19. But it is important to remember that deals are still being done and that the property market hasn’t completely ground to a halt.

“This is an exciting move for the Mears Group and will enable them to expand their business in Yorkshire.”
