Rushton Hickman are delighted to announce the successful letting of Unit 12, Eccleshall Business Park to the innovative Making Trails Ltd. Known for their unique approach to community engagement through art, Making Trails has made a profound impact in towns and cities across the UK by creating bespoke art trails, such as the Burton Barrel Roll, that raise vital funds for charities while using the power of art to connect, inspire and elevate communities.
Making Trails Ltd specialises in the design and implementation of artistic trails that bring communities together. Their projects not only encourage tourism, but also allow residents to rediscover and appreciate their surroundings as tourists in their own towns. By highlighting significant local events and areas, their art trails increase foot traffic and support the local economy. More than just visual spectacles, these trails serve as platforms for positive societal change, instilling a sense of civic pride in the communities they touch.
Eccleshall Business Park is a highly regarded industrial estate, with this 718 sq. ft open-plan unit serving as the perfect hub for Making Trails’ creative operations. With its location on Hawkins Lane being one of the key industrial thoroughfares in Burton upon Trent, this unit presented an excellent opportunity for the business to expand their operations.
Jade Martin, Associate Director at Rushton Hickman commented, “We are thrilled to welcome Making Trails Ltd to Eccleshall Business Park. Their mission to enhance communities through creative expression resonates with our commitment to supporting local businesses. We are confident that this new space will not only benefit Making Trails, but also contribute positively to the Burton upon Trent community with all that they are involved in.”
Tilley Bancroft, Head Trail Blazer at Making Trails Ltd added, “Thanks to the team at Rushton Hickman for helping Making Trails secure our second site. We are using this as a storage and painting unit for our sculpture trails and needed a place with enough headroom to accommodate our often large pieces (see photo evidence 😬). The team were prompt to reply, helpful and solutions-oriented. Everything you would want when searching for the right property.”
