Strong occupier interest in new business unit scheme in Carmarthenshire

The five unit scheme in Llandeilo is a joint venture between the Welsh Government and Carmarthenshire County Council

A five business unit development in Llandeilio has been completed in a joint venture between the Welsh Government and Carmarthenshire County Council.

More than £3m has been committed by the Welsh Government in the 7,000 sq ft scheme at Beechwood Industrial Estate. The development forms part of the Welsh Government’s property delivery plan and supports Carmarthenshire County Council’s ten towns initiative.

Built by Welsh contractor Korbuild, the units have been designed to keep energy costs down and reduce carbon emissions. Features include solar panels, electric vehicle charging points, high levels of insulation, sustainable drainage and the flexibility to add battery storage in future.

The project has also delivered benefits for businesses across the region. Solar Save Renewables, which installed the solar energy system, is based less than a mile from the site.

There has already been strong interest in the units from businesses, with one of the larger units expected to be occupied soon.

Managing director of Korbuild, Mark Cotter, said:“Korbuild were delighted to work with Welsh Government, Carmarthenshire County Council and Rhomco on the successful completion of the Beechwood Industrial Estate project.

“From its energy-efficient design to the involvement of local suppliers, this development demonstrates how sustainable construction can support both businesses and communities.”

Carmarthenshire County Council’s cabinet member for regeneration, leisure, culture and tourism, Hazel Evans, said: “These high-quality business units are a significant investment in the future of Llandeilo and the wider region. By providing modern, energy-efficient space for businesses to establish and grow, we are supporting job creation, strengthening local economies and helping to ensure our towns remain vibrant places to live and work.”

Managing director of Solar Save Renewables, Petar Pavlov, said: “The project has provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the skills and expertise of our team and demonstrates that local companies can successfully deliver high-quality renewable energy solutions.
