Strong demand for bespoke business premises drives second phase of Allenby Commercial development

Harry Hall, Founder and Director of ATD Automotive and The Vault Collection, has moved to The Point and he will also take up a second unit in phase two of the development as his business continues to grow.

THE Point at Priory Park East in Henry Boot Way is a 6.5 acre development by family-run Allenby Commercial, offering premium trade counter and industrial units ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 sq ft.

The three units in phase one are now fully occupied and work on phase two is expected to be completed by March 2026, with a further three bespoke units ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 sq ft available to rent or buy.

Paint protection and detailing business Attention to Detail (ATD) Automotive and The Vault Collection, wholesale fruit and vegetable company Associated Growers and interior and exterior fit-out business Michael James Property Developments have moved into the first three units at The Point.

Andrew Allenby, Managing Director of Allenby Commercial, said: “It’s really exciting to see phase one completed and occupied, with the spaces creating new jobs and opportunities in the local area. We can’t wait to build on that success in phase two.

“There is demand for quality and efficient space, and businesses want more from their premises, which is why all of our units are next level and high quality - design-led for each company with excellent access roads and landscaping.

“Phase two will continue to support further job creation in the local economy and provide growth for both local and national businesses.

“These developments are paramount to the success of the area and we’re very proud to play our part in that.”

Situated five miles from Hull city centre, The Point is adjacent to the A63 with excellent connectivity to the M62 and transport links to Hull and other cities.

The Scandinavian-inspired units have spacious yards, generous parking, solar panels on the roof and HGV access, and The Point is also on a park and ride bus route.

They are tailored to each business and can be bought or rented as part of a turnkey package, ensuring occupiers can hit the ground running as soon as they move in.

Harry Hall, Founder and Director of ATD Automotive, set up the business from the boot of his Mini aged just 17. Now, eight years on, Harry has outgrown his premises at Allenby’s Trade Yard site in Beverley and relocated to The Point.

As part of his expansion plans, Harry has also launched The Vault Collection at The Point, specialising in supercar sales and acquisitions, and will rent another unit in phase two of the development as his business continues to grow.

Harry said: “The location of The Point and access is much better for us because a lot of our clients are based out of town.

“In keeping with typical Allenby Commercial standards, everything is such high quality, and this location is providing us with the opportunity to grow even further.”

Plans are also underway for work on phase three of The Point to begin in 2026 and a second access road will be in place for phases two and three.

The units have grade A Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings, ensuring they are the most energy efficient, and local contractors are behind the creation of The Point.

Associated Growers, which was sold to new owners four months ago, has been a trusted name in fresh, high-quality produce for more than 50 years, working with farms and growers locally and across the UK. Its new base at The Point is in addition to the company’s existing premises at the nearby Fruit Market.

Director Zaid Bhamji said: “We’ve grown the business five times over in four months, so moving here has come at the right time, as we’re using it as a distribution centre. It’s so close to our other unit, which is convenient, and the move has been so easy.

“We’ve worked in our own family food business for almost 20 years and operated in key roles. The Point is perfect for our next step in business.”

Michael James Property Developments has more than 30 years’ experience in delivering high-quality interior and exterior fit-outs for the retail, bar and leisure industries, including major national bakery chain Greggs.

The family-run business is relocating to The Point after outgrowing its premises in North Ferriby and has bought its 3,450 sq ft unit at the development.

Director Adam Batch said: “Our business continues to grow and we want to progress even further. We need larger premises to run more efficiently and The Point is in a great location with direct access to the motorway.

“Aesthetically it’s fantastic and everything in the unit has been completed to a great standard with a high-quality finish. The team at Allenby Commercial go the extra mile and they really look after you.”

Allenby Commercial is also the development company behind the Trade Yard sites in Barton-upon-Humber, Beverley, Driffield and Willerby, Hull’s historic Paragon Arcade and the city’s newest landmark office and hospitality hub, Monocle.

There are also plans for a sister development of The Point in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, next year.
