Paul Smith of St Modwen, said: ³We are  in detailed discussions with a number of other potential occupiers for the remaining units, some of which will  hopefully be concluded before the end of the year.

³The units are available to buy or let  which provides companies with the opportunity to own  their own premises as well as merely went them.²
