Ref. 25972-13A BREWERY is offering an extra incentive for firms looking to move into its new business development free beer.

Arkell's Brewery has developed eight new units on vacant land next to its brewery in Kingsdown, Swindon.

Managing director James Arkell said: "Perhaps it's the pint of 3Bs that many brewery staff sup each day that helps keep our business going if we could prove that, we might throw in a pint a day with the lease terms to help our new tenants on their way!"

He said the company, which owns pubs across the region, had decided to diversify from its core business.

"This land has been lying unused for a long time and we felt that providing a range of small business accommodation would be an ideal use for the area and of benefit to the local business community."

One unit is already let, and the remaining seven will range from 821 to 1722 square feet in size, all with parking, and will be finished to a modern standard.

Rental offers will be sought in the region of £12 per sqft.

Jenny James at Whitmarsh Preece Lockhart, who is marketing the development on behalf of Arkell's added: "There is a lack of affordable good quality office accommodation for small businesses in Swindon, especially for new start-ups.

"These new offices will be ideal for such businesses, not least because of the excellent access to the A419 and M4 just five minutes away."
