Major coup for Lingley Mere

United Utilities today announced that it is to locate its new shared service centre at Lingley Mere Business Park, Warrington.

The UK’s largest operator of water and waste water networks will relocate its administrative division to the purpose built centre, which comprises 46,682 sq ft.

Joint venture partners Muse Developments and United Utilities Property Solutions are expected to start on site later this month with practical completion anticipated in March next year.

Lingley Mere, which is located off junction 8 of the M62, currently provides 380,000 sq ft of office accommodation. The park, which is set within 100 acres of parkland aims to attract further blue chip companies to the area with a further 40 acres available for development.

Phil Mayall, Senior Development Surveyor at Muse Developments, said: “United Utilities’ decision to locate its shared service centre at Lingley Mere represents another vote of confidence in the business park. As one of region’s major employers it is a welcome addition to the growing number of businesses choosing to locate at the park.”
