Cooke & Arkwright have acquired, on behalf of Purolite Ltd., (water treatment company) approximately 6,000 sq ft of Unit C1 on the Llantrisant Business Park. The occupation of C1 follows further expansion of Purolite’s activities into Unit D (15,023 sq ft) in 2015, and Purolite now occupies three facilities adjacent to each other, permitting further investment in the area, securing employment and supporting future development of the business.

Jeremy Symons, who acted on behalf of Purolite commented, “The opportunity to acquire an adjacent building only arises on average once every 10 years, and the good fortune to be able to do that twice in the space of 12 months, dovetailing with the client’s expansion requirements, was particularly advantageous. 

Ian Horton of Purolite commented, “Purolite have made incredible strides in the Life Sciences industry since 2012, with intensive product development carried out at our European R&D Centre of Excellence in Llantrisant. Through securing adjacent sites, including a multi-million pound investment in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, Purolite can further support the ongoing, large-scale manufacture and global distribution of vital Life Sciences products here in Wales, whilst creating and safeguarding over 100 jobs in the area over the next five years.”

Cooke & Arkwright have been providing Newport City Council with rating advice for over 20 years. Andrew, Jane and Huw provide a personal and professional service and have an excellent knowledge of the Council’s assets which has enabled the Council to achieve substantial rate savings. A useful service offered is the status report which provides us with a snapshot of what appeals have been made and appeals outstanding throughout the life of the List. I would recommend Cooke & Arkwright Rating Services to any company wishing to procure up-to-date and professional rating advice.
