Bradford-based manufacturer Thermocable is relocating its operations to a new unit at Leftfield Park, an Enterprise Zone in Thornbury, as part of a long-term growth strategy.
The business, which currently operates out of Pasture Lane in Clayton, has secured a 10-year lease on a 39,435 sq ft warehouse with additional office and reception space. The move is expected to support job creation and accommodate the company’s scaling production and technology needs.
Leftfield Park is a West Yorkshire Combined Authority-backed employment site developed with nearly £10 million in public funding to transform previously unused land. With Thermocable’s relocation, only one unit remains available at the site.
Founded in 1963, Thermocable has evolved into a global leader in linear heat detection systems, serving fire safety and industrial markets. The new premises will enable the firm to maintain momentum on its 10-year growth plan and continue investing in talent and equipment without space constraints.
Alice Ham, general manager, Thermocable said: “We are so proud of how much we have grown over the last couple of years, and taking this next step in our journey is a huge milestone. The dedication and commitment the Thermocable team has to continue to innovate, grow and work smarter is incredible.
“This office and warehouse space will enable us to continue with our 10 year growth plan without the need to scrimp on space, or worry about new equipment and recruitment. We are excited to continue to boost Bradford’s economy, bridge industry skills gaps, and continue to raise the bar in manufacturing excellence and fire safety.”
Danielle Raunjak, associate director, CBRE, said: “Leftfield Bradford offers excellent strategic access to occupiers looking to benefit from the Bradford and West Leeds localities and labour market. The final unit at Leftfield Bradford is the only unit available of Grade A quality in Bradford, reflecting the continued demand for good quality and strategically located warehouse space in the wider region.”
Harry Fullerton, director, JLL, said: “We are delighted to welcome Thermocable to Leftfield Park. Their decision to lease this high-spec warehouse is a testament to the quality of the development and its strategic location. As a global leader, Thermocable’s presence adds significant value to the park and the wider Bradford area.
“Their commitment to innovation and growth aligns perfectly with the vision we had for Leftfield Park as a hub for forward-thinking businesses. This letting not only showcases the continued demand for premium industrial space in Bradford but also highlights the area’s appeal to cutting-edge manufacturing companies. We’re excited to see how Thermocable will use this space to further their impressive growth and contribute to the local economy.”
