Further significant investment is on its way into Bognor Regis as the regeneration of the town continues to gather pace.

PNH Properties have become the latest business to invest heavily in Bognor Regis and aim to provide dozens of new jobs after purchasing 16 industrial units in the Durban Road business estate

They follow in the footsteps of many other companies eager to take part in the town’s multi-million pound regeneration, including St Modwen’s £100m plans for the town centre, Butlins’ proposals for a new hotel and developments at Chichester University.

PNH Properties, who actively own and manage commercial properties in the south, plan to completely refurbish the industrial units, employing local contractors and skilled tradesmen who live around the estate to carry out the impressive revamp.

The finished project is expected to cost around £600,000 and will provide over 78,000 sqft of high quality industrial and office space for local businesses, with a secure long term future.

The company has also provided businesses with a number of incentives to encourage them to move into the new offices, including rent-free periods until April 2008 and flexible terms. It has already resulted in over half of the estate being snapped up by local businesses eager to get involved.

Councillor Norman Dingemans, Cabinet Member for Economic and Cultural Regeneration, said: “Bognor Regis is undergoing a considerable and fast-moving programme of regeneration, and it is because of this that businesses like PNH Properties are making such a statement of intent.

“Investment of this kind flies in the face of recent claims that there is little or no requirement for industrial space in Bognor Regis. This one company alone will provide the opportunity for hundreds of jobs to the area and provide top quality space for local businesses to take advantage of. I am delighted to welcome them to Bognor Regis and I wish them every success.”

Peter Hunt, the Managing Director of the PNH Group said; “This is an exciting time for us and Bognor Regis as we try to improve the built environment, providing a sustainable place to work”.

The collective group of properties at Durban Road will be managed by Castlegrove Business Park Limited – part of the PNH Group. The property company owns a mixture of Business Parks and Industrial Estates and believes in active owner management.
