5th Centre for Wenta
Wenta are delighted to announce that we are now extending our support for SMEs to the Enfield area through our recent acquisition of premises on Innova Park, Enfield.
The building, formerly known as ‘The Business Innovation Centre (BIC)’, has been purchased from the London Borough of Enfield and encompasses a total floor area of almost 40,000 sq ft with 27 businesses currently residing at the premises. Newly named, ‘The Wenta Business Centre – Enfield’ will offer modern, vibrant and professional business amenities such as offices, workshops, meeting/conference rooms. The centre will also offer an extensive range of services such as virtual offices and call answering, to support other small businesses in the area that may not require a physical space. A dedicated team have been recruited to run the facility supported by the existing management structure of Wenta’s Property Services Team.
The acquisition was made possible through the support of partners including: Santander Corporate & Commercial, Brasier Freeth Chartered Surveyors, Matthew Arnold and Baldwin Solicitors as well as RJ Metis who will be providing the software systems to meet the needs of modern billing/invoicing and meeting room bookings.
Wenta’s investment programme over the coming months includes overall facility improvement, meeting the demands of the site’s existing clients together with refurbishment in order to provide an attractive environment for new businesses to be based at The Wenta Business Centre – Enfield.
Wenta is well established within the business centre industry, with a proven track record managing a further four centres in neighbouring Hertfordshire. The Enterprise Centre in Potters Bar, The Wenta Business Centre in Watford, Chells Industrial Units and the Business & Technology Centre in Stevenage combine to offer 120,000 sq ft of letable space.
The project is the largest for Wenta in over 20 years, since their Potters Bar business centre was built, and the acquisition was made possible due to Wenta’s strong track record of running their other business centres in the region.
Spencer Tagg, Property Services Director for Wenta said:
“We are very excited about the acquisition of our 5th centre. Wenta already provide an environment for over 350 businesses based within our centres and we’re looking forward to bringing our business centre management and expertise to Enfield. Over the coming months and years we’ll be developing the facility to attract more small businesses to the centre.”
Celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, Wenta are committed to supporting local businesses, from start-up to existing, through their array of business support services. The organisation currently delivers advice and training to hundreds of clients every month and supports thousands of students every year raising awareness of enterprise and entrepreneurship.
Lee Francis, Relationship Director for Santander Corporate & Commercial, said:
“We are proud to have been able to support Wenta. This is a fantastic not-for-profit company, which is dedicated to providing comprehensive business support to entrepreneurs and fledgling business. Wenta has helped hundreds of businesses start-up and grow in the past year alone, helping to create new valuable jobs and demand, and, in turn, helping to drive forward the local economy. We look forward to building on our relationship going forward.”
