The first tenant has moved into a Black Country business park following a £1.5 million build programme.

Progress Point was developed by London & Cambridge Properties, on The Pensnett Estate in Kingswinford, and has welcomed Map Concrete Pumping on a five-year lease as it looks to expand its rental fleet and business.

The family-run company hires high-pressure and high-output concrete pumping machines to the construction sector and said a growth in business had necessitated the move from its previous premises in Sedgley.

Director Mark Phillips said: "We've been in business for more than eight years and we have expanded our fleet over the past 18 months which meant we had to find a new headquarters to accommodate it.

"It heralds an exciting new chapter for the business. This has enabled us to expand our fleet of lorries and also take on an additional two drivers to cope with demand."

Paula James, sales negotiator at LCP, added: "We are pleased to welcome Map Concrete Pumping to Progress Point and are delighted that this high-quality development has attracted its first tenant.

"We are speaking to a number of businesses that have expressed an interest in the remaining units and hope to announce further tenants in the near future."

The Pensnett Estate, which is owned and managed by London & Cambridge, comprises approximately 2.3 million sq ft on a site of 185 acres, with 25 acres for future development of speculative or purpose-built premises.

Existing tenants include Helix, Kennametal, Sven Christiansen, Intralox, Handicare and Booker Cash & Carry.
