Delivering healthy working environments+Set in a landscaped park environment, Bedford Commercial Park will offer green open spaces and attractive surroundings for employees to enjoy. The park will include a network of landscaped ponds at its heart, designed to support local wildlife and protect natural habitats. Home to the future canal link between Bedford and Milton Keynes, this green corridor will be complemented by a community orchard, extensive woodland planting and a series of pedestrian footpaths that link the park with its natural surroundings.

Benefitting from excellent cycle links, Bedford town centre is just a 30-minute cycle ride from the Park and can be reached via Route 51 of the National Cycle Network.

With a focus on employee health and wellbeing, our buildings are designed to maximise natural light, provide views of nature and offer excellent welfare facilities for staff.
