The Mayor will be joined by over 50 invited guests including Welsh Development Agency representatives, Councillors, Developers, Agents and Press to celebrate the
Event. Brian Scowcroft, Chairman of Kingmoor Park Properties Ltd, owners of the site, comments:

“I am delighted to see the transformation of this building, which forms a major part of this strategic inward investment site. We bought this former Owens Corning glass fibre manufacturing plant back in 2004 when it was in quite a sad state and set about demolishing some of the eyesore buildings and internal remodelling to create a large, modern, open plan space. The resulting 260,000sqft building is an important addition to the area’s industrial offering and I am delighted to add that we are currently in negotiations with a major company to take the building over. However, we will continue marketing the site as we still have two chunks of industrial land for sale that I am sure given the land’s location on Wrexham Industrial Estate will be snapped up pretty quickly”.

David Newman of Matthews & Goodman, agents for the site said“The launch day is an excellent way of communicating and announcing the huge success and attractive proposition the site has to offer”.
