The Exchange becomes a focal point for the Region.

The Exchange at Express Park has become both a landmark and a meeting place on the M5 at Junction 23, Bridgwater. This striking building offers life style facilities including a Day Nursery, Health Club and Café, Conference Theatre and Syndicate Rooms, originally built to add a dimension to the successful Express Park Development but now performing a significant regional function. The theatre which can seat up to 200 people has been host to Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Royal Town Planning Institute conferences, the launch of the £100M for schools project in Bridgwater, many SWRDA and Regional Health conferences, product launches for companies as diverse as Gerber Juice and Chickmaster and numerous school and college award ceremonies. The smaller syndicate rooms cater for from 6-30 people and the café has proven a useful meeting place being equal distance from Exeter, Bristol and Dorchester.

TCN UK have just spent over £1/2M on a major refit which now brings forward a further 6000 sq ft of high quality, air conditioned office space in suites from 500-3000 sq ft available at £14.00 per sq ft. All tenants will enjoy the benefit of a strategic location, easy access to the motorway, an environmentally friendly riverside setting and use of all the facilities outlined above.

Express Park is now moving into its final phase where office development and the creation of highly skilled employment will complete its contribution to Bridgwater and its hinterland. The estate has already seen over 1.5M sq ft of industrial/warehousing construction, tenants include Gerber Juice, Interpet, Toolstation, DHL, Langdons and Chickmaster. Mallard Court (54,000 sq ft) offices has been completed and fully let for 4 years.

Express Park was recently acquired by TCN UK, a Dutch backed asset developer who are now seeking similar opportunities throughout the region. Geoff Revell remains Director in charge of the South West region.
