Redsun Developments has completed the first phase of its innovate:speke development at Venture Point business park in Speke.
Four industrial workspace units are being delivered on a 4.5 acre previously derelict brownfield site. The first two units measuring 15,000sqft and 18,000sqft are now complete and will be occupied by Killer Ink Ltd and Studiocare Professional Audio Ltd.
Killer Ink was established in 2008 and is now one of the market leaders in the supply and distribution of tattooing products across the UK and Europe. Killer Ink currently employ 40 people across a number of sites in Liverpool. Their new premises at Venture Point will maximise the efficiency of the business by allowing them to deal with orders, store and deliver products to customers all from a single location.
Studiocare has provided sales, hire and service of professional audio equipment to education, broadcast, recording studio and home users since its inception in 1998. The new premises at Venture Point will more than double their existing footprint and allow for greater capacity to develop the business and increases staff numbers.
Nick Wightman, Redsun Developments:
“We always design our developments with occupiers in mind, so Killer Ink and Studiocare can both expect their businesses to benefit greatly by occupying units on our innovate:speke development. The demand for our product on this development has been really strong and we’ve got a great mix of occupiers signed up for the four units.”
Joe Anderson, Mayor of Liverpool:
“This development will help create more jobs and is already helping local firms to expand. Redsun Developments are to be congratulated on completing the first phase of an initiative which will stimulate enterprise and we look forward to the next phase of innovate:speke.”
The second phase of innovate:speke is due to finish later this year which will see a further two units measuring 22,000sqft and 18,000sqft completed.
The project was supported by the European Regional Development Fund.
