Shipley Offices and Units

The Shipley Business Centre contains six self-contained office units with a combined floor area of approximately 8,000 sq ft. Self-contained accommodation gives businesses their own defined workspace rather than requiring teams to operate within a large shared office environment. This can suit companies that want greater privacy while still benefiting from the services and management provided by a larger business centre.

Office areas include heat and cool air conditioning, helping tenants maintain a comfortable working temperature throughout the year. Managed broadband and telephone systems are also available. Businesses can therefore access the communications infrastructure they need without having to arrange every service independently when moving into the building. The office space can support a range of occupiers, including professional services businesses, regional teams, sales operations, administration departments and growing local companies.

The size and layout of individual accommodation can vary, so businesses can discuss current availability with Backstone before deciding which unit best meets their requirements.

Being located close to both Shipley and Saltaire also gives employees access to nearby shops, services and public transport while keeping the business itself within a dedicated commercial site.

Business property requirements rarely remain exactly the same throughout the life of a company. Staffing levels change, new contracts are secured and operational requirements can increase or reduce. Backstone provides both easy-in easy-out agreements and traditional longer-term leases at the Shipley Business Centre.

Flexible arrangements can suit companies that want to avoid committing to a long lease before they know how much space they will need in the future. A growing business may want to establish a team in Shipley before making a longer commitment, while an established company may need additional space for a particular division or operation. Longer leases remain available for businesses that already have a clear understanding of their property requirements. Tenants also benefit from 24-hour access, allowing authorised employees to use their premises outside standard working hours.

Backstone manages the cleaning and maintenance of common areas, helping reduce the amount of day-to-day property management required from individual occupiers. Managed broadband and telephone systems are also available within the centre, while office accommodation benefits from heat and cool air conditioning.

These services allow businesses to concentrate on their own operations while Backstone manages many of the shared building requirements.

Backstone Business Centre occupies a prominent roadside position at 31-33 Saltaire Road, on the edge of Shipley and Saltaire. The A657 Saltaire Road provides direct connections through the local area and helps businesses access Bradford and other parts of the Aire Valley. Public transport connections are also strong. Saltaire railway station is approximately 600 metres from the centre, making rail travel a realistic option for employees and visitors. The station provides services towards Bradford and Leeds, helping connect the centre with the wider West Yorkshire region. Several major bus routes also operate along or close to Saltaire Road.

For those travelling by car, the centre provides high levels of on-site parking. This can be particularly useful for companies whose employees travel from different parts of West Yorkshire or whose customers, suppliers and contractors regularly visit the premises.

The combination of office units, industrial space, self-storage and transport connections makes the site suitable for businesses searching for commercial property in the Shipley and Saltaire area.
