Ackhurst Business Park

Northern Trust Company Ltd has announced that One Stop Hire has expanded its operations at Ackhurst Business Park, Chorley.

The company first relocated to the Business Park in 2022, occupying Sandringham House, a 4,215 sq ft modern office building.

Following continued growth and success, it has now taken additional space at Kensington House, comprising 4,525 sq ft, on a new five-year lease agreement.

Nick Hemmings, regional property manager at Northern Trust, said: “Our longstanding relationship with the One Stop Hire team is incredibly important to us, and it’s always rewarding to see occupiers grow and invest within the business park.

"Ackhurst continues to attract and retain successful businesses thanks to its high-quality accommodation, strong on-site management, and excellent local amenities.

"Kensington House offers the modern, flexible space that will underpin One Stop Hire’s next phase of growth, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them for many years to come.”

A One Stop Hire Limited spokesman said: “Our expansion into Kensington House marks an exciting milestone for One Stop Hire as we continue to grow our operations in the North West.

"Ackhurst Business Park has proven to be an excellent base for our business, offering great facilities, accessibility, and a professional environment that aligns perfectly with our company’s values and ambitions.”

Ackhurst Business Park is recognised as one of Lancashire’s premier business locations, offering a range of modern detached office buildings set within fully maintained landscaped grounds.

Lancashire Business View reported how Link-Ability Charity has doubled its office space from 1,968 sq ft to 3,936 sq ft at Ackhurst Business Park.

In July, it was reported that Ackhurst Business Park housed 30 different businesses, which in turn support over 700 jobs, making it a significant contributor to the local economy.
