About Us

Hornbeam Park is a thriving business and educational community on a 50 acre campus situated on the edge of the town centre and surrounded by green belt land in Crimple Valley. Offering a very attractive yet convenient location, Hornbeam was originally developed by ICI Fibres in the 1960s, the site lending its name to Crimplene. Subsequently Harrogate College, part of the Leeds Metropolitan University, has taken over some of the buildings and new development over the last decade has catered for a range of occupiers on the site. The site caters for the one man office to the larger headquarters buildings, for example Homeowners Friendly Society who occupy a magnificent 40,000 sqft office building or Hein Gericke who have a 25,000 sqft distribution warehouse with offices.


There are many well recognised trends pushing companies towards the out of town location. These include high city centre parking costs, stress and congestion and the spectre of tax on city centre car journeys. The business park location will also appeal to companies who require accessibility for staff, clients and suppliers. However it is the lifestyle effect that is striking. New sector companies with younger managers bring with them a panoply of companies with which they interact which are looking for modern space with a feel good factor in feel good surroundings on low density developments with open spaces.

Hornbeam offers not only a variety of buildings for different users but other valuable facilities on site. The Hornbeam rail halt provides a regular service to Leeds and York and a Cannons fitness centre with swimming pool. Kindercare have built a 140 place day nursery and a 60 bed hotel with restaurant. Speculative development currently under construction caters for office requirements from 1600 sqft to 17,000 sqft, and light industrial units of 1500sqft, 2000 sqft and 2500 sqft are available to let. There are also mixed units for warehouse/industrial use combined with offices of 6500 sqft and 8250 sqft approximately.
