Cat pounces on Solihull business park
The financial services arm of US-based equipment manufacturing giant Caterpillar has moved into Solihull’s Blythe District Valley Park. Caterpillar’s Birmingham district office also made the move into the new 12,000 sq ft base.
The company, which was previously based in Hockley Heath, is the third new tenant to the park in as many months.
The firm’s new base, which is in the Nexus building of the park, is now home to 94 employees.
Caterpillar’s move follows the arrival of Balfour Beatty Engineering Services into the Trigen House building and consulting and services company Enzen Global taking more than 6,000 sq ft of space in the Rhodium building on the park in recent months.
Paul Rubincam of Liberty Property Trust UK, which develops and manages the business park in partnership with Doughty Hanson & Co Real Estate, said: “We are extremely pleased that another major firm in Caterpillar Financial has chosen Blythe Valley Park.
"Just as in 2009, this year has remained a challenging time for businesses across the country but by remaining flexible when structuring deals to meet the needs of potential tenants we have continued to attract major companies like Caterpillar to the park, which is great news for Solihull and the West Midlands region.”
Other firms already based at the park include Arup, Virgin Active, Regus, Siemens, Oracle, UK Athletics and Scott Wilson.
