MICHAEL WEBSTER TAKES OVER OPERATIONS AT NORTHLIGHT INDUSTRIES IN THE NEXT PHASE OF HIS 10 YEAR CAREER WITH STORE FIRST.jpg.jpg

Recently, as part of the final phases of the £34m redevelopment of Northlight, the historic mill in Brierfield, tenants were welcomed to Northlight Industries and Store First Brierfield. Michael Webster has joined as site manager, as part of a 10 year career with Store First.

Northlight Industries consists of 29 spacious workshop units, with sizes from 650 - 2,000 sq ft. They're occupied by diverse businesses, from people hand crafting such as Feature Lighting, to top architects Campbell Driver who required a light, spacious office plus private meeting room.

The new Store First facility is also state of the art, with extra wide corridors, and keyless entry both externally and to the unit, meaning multiple people can enter easily if required - and it's all tracked on the app.

Michael Webster, site manager commented: "I've worked for Store First for almost ten years, it's fantastic. At our brand new site facility at Brierfield, we've got state of the art security. We've got 'no key' smart storage entry, basically what it says on the tin - there's no need for any keys to access the facility. It's all installed through smart application on your mobile phone or a smart device.

"Northlight is a fantastic location too, situated just off M65 Junction 12 as well as close to local public transport, and very close to Brierfield train station. We offer more than an empty space. We have state of the art security systems, onsite shower facilities, and we have a gym on site as well which is perfect for me!"

Managing director Toby Whittaker added: "Michael does a great job running the Northlight Industries units and the new Store First. He's been a valuable part of the team since running Store First in Blackburn, and he's making a real difference to our tenants now he's here at Northlight!"
