Lazercut Takes out Another Slice of Axis Park
When they urgently needed to expand their business space at Axis Park, Peterborough, Lazercut Ltd found the landlords more accommodating than most.
To make room for a massive new steel cutting machine the company had invested in, they offered to solve their tenant’s problem overnight – by removing the dividing wall between Lazercut’s existing premises and the vacant unit adjoining it.
"I was not only impressed by their enterprising solution, but by the speed with which they put it into place" says Steve Adamson of Lazercut. "The necessary building works were completed over a weekend without any disruption to production.
"We'd looked at other units in Peterborough, but this proved the neatest solution. The enlarged unit also benefits from double loading doors, two compounds and private forecourt – all in all, I'm delighted with the result".
With units from just over 3,000 sq.ft Axis Park is ideal for start-ups or fast-growing SMEs who want the flexibility to adapt or expand their operational needs. Limited space is still available in this quality business environment with a fast link to the A1 (M) via the A1139 Fletton Parkway.

National Builders Make New Base at Axis Park
Following a city wide search for new premises in Peterborough, Mears plc, a national firm of building contractors, have taken the lease on 19,203 sq ft of warehousing and high tech offices at Axis Park, Orton Southgate.
Mears, whose major client is Cross Key Homes Housing Association, are specialists in local authority housing maintenance and repair work, and they see this move as a perfect opportunity to relocate and expand their business.
"Following a search of the whole of Peterborough we chose Axis Park because the landlords were able to offer us an entire terrace of newly refurbished business units, including 6000 sq ft of high tech office space, from which we plan to operate a new call centre operation.
"They also offered us the flexibility of a two-stage deal on the acquisition, and a short turn around on the legals".
In this area – Peterborough’s premier industrial and distribution district – the value for money of the deal is also exceptional.
Gardman Grow Business at Axis Park

“Before settling at Axis Park we carried out a property search throughout the entire Eastern Region” says John Stratford, Marketing Director of Gardman. “We chose Axis Park because it offered excellent value for money, was newly refurbished, and the landlord could deliver on a short turnaround of the legals.
CCTV is Icing on Cake for Axis Park
New management has ushered in a new era for occupiers of Axis Park Peterborough, where the Estate improvements – of which the latest is 24/7 CCTV surveillance – is proving an attractive option for businesses looking for quality and value in a prime location.
In Orton Southgate – Peterborough’s premier industrial and distribution district adjacent to the A1 – the deal on offer is really exceptional. With units available from just 3,100 sq.ft., and at rents from under £5 per sq.ft., their flexibility and affordability is unrivalled.
Occupiers have the option to adapt or expand according to their operational needs, and the choice of varying the ratio of office and industrial space to suit their individual requirements.
The lease terms are equally appealing to occupiers who don’t want to be tied to a long term commitment. Available for immediate occupation, the units are leased at a fixed cost for 3 years, with a rolling three month break after year one.
Add to this the advantages of being on a newly refurbished and landscaped park with the latest security systems, and the value looks even better.

Competetive Rent Wins New Tenants at Axis Park
Highly competitive rents are attracting new occupiers at Axis Park, Orton Southgate, including A&T Logistics, who have just taken the 6,416 sq.ft. Unit 12 at Peterborough's premier industrial and distribution location.
To celebrate the move the Park’s landlords, presented A&T's Managing Director Keith Smith with a bottle of champagne.
"The location, which offers fast access to the A1(M), was the main attraction for us" says Mr Smith, who has relocated his firm from nearby Woodston, "but the low rental was the clincher".
With units from as little as 3,000 sq.ft the Park is ideal for start-ups or fast-growing SMEs who want the flexibility to adapt or expand their operational needs.
Axis Park Helps Occupiers Beat the Credit Crunch
Business premises have traditionally been seen as a key company asset, and more recently as a means of investing in directors’ pension funds.
However, with stocks falling and financial storm clouds gathering, the banks have, predictably, reverted to their usual practice of snatching back fiscal umbrellas at the first hint of rain, making the cost of a commercial mortgage prohibitive, even assuming you can get one at all.
Suddenly rentals are back in favour, and with some of the bargains on offer, they can be a very attractive proposition indeed. At Axis Park, Orton Southgate, for example, rentals from as little as £4.00 per sq. ft. are still available – practically a gift in what has been described as Peterborough’s premier industrial and distribution location.
And the terms of the offer are equally appealing. In the current economic climate, you might expect a contract to be written in stone or be required to sign it in blood.
However the landlords of Axis Park, remain remarkably accommodating. Under the terms of their Easilease scheme, only one month's notice is required to terminate a leasehold contract, giving occupiers the option of moving in and out with a minimum three month period.
With units from as little as 3,000 sq.ft the Park is ideal for start-ups or fast-growing SMEs who want the flexibility to adapt or expand their operational needs, and Segro’s modus operandi allows them to vary the ratio of office and industrial space to suit their individual requirements.
Units upwards of circa 3,000 sq. ft. are still available in a quality environment with a fast link to the A1 (M) via the A1139 Fletton Parkway.
