A unique business environment Comprising over 1,000 acres of land located in the centre of England and close to Coventry , Stoneleigh Park is a unique site and the perfect location for science and technology based rural businesses .
Stoneleigh Park sits firmly at the heart of England ’ s rural economy and is home to a cluster of over 70 businesses with their emphasis on agriculture , food production , sustainability , renewable energy , equine and livestock husbandry , plus the wider rural economy .
Over the next ten years £ 50 million will be invested to improve the facilities and support services , to ensure the growth and prosperity of the site .
On site facilities The site is already well established with existing facilities that include extensive free car parking , a 58 bedroom hotel , café and farm shop , gym , children ’ s nursery , conference facilities , exhibition halls and 3 helicopter landing pads .
Connectivity Stoneleigh Park has its own fibre optic network that provides a high quality , fully resilient broadband service , with download speeds of 500Mbps and faster if required , at very competitive prices .
Market access Stoneleigh Park has amongst the existing 70 tenants on site , some of the most influential associations and organisations representing the rural and land based economy . They include the Royal Agricultural Society of England , The National Farmers Union and the Agricultural and Horticulture Development Board . These bodies can assist in developing agri-knowledge as well as opening doors to UK decision and policy makers .
Research and development The nearby universities of Warwick and Coventry are acknowledged as two of the leading educational institutions in the country . They ,
together with Warwickshire College , have research departments that specialise in agri- and bio-sciences ; which can assist tenants with contract research , consultancy , training and workshops , graduate placements and apprentices , together with access to equipment and expertise .
As well as helping make the right connections here , Stoneleigh Park can also affect introductions to an extensive list of other academic communities both UK based and abroad .
Commercial opportunities There is a wide choice of commercial properties to let on site . For larger organisations , bespoke new development opportunities can be constructed to meet occupiers ’ specific requirements .
For smaller concerns there is a range of existing buildings available that can be refurbished and customised to meet customer needs . Lastly , for the smaller business there is the “ Rural Innovation Centre ”, a serviced office scheme designed to house and support start up and small businesses . This is run in conjunction with DEFRA and Warwickshire County Council as part of the Rural Growth Network , which provides all the necessary support structures to ensure the businesses succeed .
The future The vision for Stoneleigh Park builds on the site ’ s distinguished agricultural heritage and is set out in a fully funded , 15 year development programme .
A recently consented masterplan allows for an increase in space that could accommodate 1,500 new jobs and includes the construction of new offices and research facilities of superior quality , new and improved highway connections , an extension to the existing hotel and a new larger café , restaurant and farm shop .
In addition , there is a programme of refurbishments already underway , that is revitalising the existing stock of buildings on site , which includes further incubator units for small and medium enterprises .
