Why investing in Newham is the perfect choice for your business

Thursday 3rd October, 2024

Newham and the Port of Truro lies at the head of the Fal Estuary and is home to around 140 great businesses delivering a massive range of products and services. Offering everything from getting fit, taking care of your car or your finances, Newham is a fantastic place to trade, work and invest in.

The estate has excellent accessibility for employees and customers, located just off the A39, and a few minutes’ walk from Truro city centre. Managed by Newham and the Port of Truro Business Improvement District (BID), businesses enjoy a host of benefits like state-of-the-art broadband connectivity. The BID is just beginning to roll out a free new virtual training package for businesses, with over 200 courses available, in partnership with SEEDL.

Founder of Toy Barn Automotive, a new arrival to the Newham Estate, Geoff Rushton said: “We chose Newham because we wanted a property which was central and large enough to house everything we do under one roof, as well as having plenty of space for customer parking. We’ve had such a positive welcome from other businesses, there is a great community feel here.”

A fixture of Newham is Vickery Holman, who have had offices there for over 30 years. Alan Treloar, Chartered Surveyor and Director at Vickery Holman speaks highly of the location “Newham provides us with the good quality office space that we need with the benefit of on-site car parking for staff and clients. The fact that our offices enjoy a lovely view over the river is something we almost take for granted but I can’t imagine a much better outlook in Truro and visitors remark on the river wherever the tide is.”

The BID continues to deliver a strong vision for the future with ongoing improvements to make the area even better. Businesses benefit from security measures such as security patrols and CCTV cameras, and the BID is currently rolling out SelectaDNA, a forensic marking service to help protect property.

Mel Richardson, Newham BID Manager said: “We have a strong community here in Newham and lots of the businesses work collaboratively to support each other and improve the estate environment. There is a lot of pride for the area and as the Business Improvement District we manage and maintain the communal landscaped areas. We also deliver projects to make Newham & Port of Truro an even better place to locate your business”.
