New business park opens in Falmouth thanks to investment and funding
A new business hub called Church View Business Park has opened in Falmouth thanks to funding and private investment.
The park consists of 7 industrial buildings, split into 17 hybrid industrial units. All 17 units have already been sold. The private sector investment was provided by Falmouth Developments, and then £3.38m in funding was then secured from the European Regional Development Fund as part of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Growth Programme.
Councillor Bob Egerton, Cornwall Council portfolio holder for planning and economy, said: "The Church View Business Park development is a great example of how EU funding matched by private investment is supporting and encouraging new and existing businesses to grow and prosper in Cornwall.
"What is interesting is to see the range of businesses that will be working out of this new space – guitar pick-ups to robots, hand-made soaps inspired by Cornwall to engineering – reflecting the range of diverse businesses operating in Cornwall. By offering high-quality, supportive and joined-up premises, this purpose built development will nurture businesses, help create job opportunities and make a significant economic contribution towards a prosperous Cornwall."
Steve Russell, director of Falmouth Developments, added: "We are absolutely delighted to see the new business park open with new owners now moving in. It says a great deal about the quality of the development and market demand in the local area that all of the new units have already been sold.
"The new buildings look great and have been carefully designed to meet the needs of occupiers and we look forward to seeing the positive impact that these spaces will have for the individual businesses using them and, of course, the wider Falmouth area."

________________
A large complex used by many different businesses needs to have a great visitor monitoring system. Nobody wants people wandering into the wrong office, or accidentally interrupting important meetings because their meeting room is right next door to yours.
Time and Attendance South West offers the Management of Contractors and Visitors Software to help everyone be in the right place at the right time. This network-based application allows you to advance book visitor appointments and pre-book on site contractors.
These bookings can be made either via the PC based application or a user’s Internet browser. As soon as an appointment is booked, notification emails are sent to both the visitor and their host informing them of the appointment’s date, time and location.
If there is no reception area in your workspace, or if there is not a designated receptionist, we can also offer you the MCVS Unmanned Reception Console, which enables visitors to check themselves in for appointments using a touchscreen. This can send an email directly to the person who will be hosting them.
If the appointment is for a visitor or contractor who needs to go around alone, MCVS provides a Welfare Check page to set up welfare notification reminders. These reminders (an on screen popup or an email) prompt the host to perform a safety check on the lone worker.
This means that you are kept up to date and there can be no ambiguity about location. A history of checks performed and acknowledged is also recorded for audit purposes.
