When your business outgrows its existing premises or requires a new base of operations, the next step can often feel predictable. Expansion is typically associated with a move to a traditional industrial estate, rows of functional warehouse buildings designed to maximise floor space, but rarely offering much beyond the basics.
For a growing SME, sacrificing your company culture and environmental values just to gain more operational space has long felt like an unavoidable tax on success. At Burrough Court, set within our 22-acre rural business park in the heart of Leicestershire, our modern warehousing spaces flip the traditional industrial playbook on its head.
Here is how choosing a greener, more human-centric route can future-proof your logistics, support your workforce, and give your business the ultimate foundation for growth.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Leicestershire
Choosing a scenic, greener base doesn’t mean isolating your logistics network.
Efficient distribution relies heavily on regional accessibility, and our location offers a distinct competitive advantage over heavily congested urban locations. Situated just six miles from Melton Mowbray, Burrough Court sits directly between the region’s key transport routes. The rural business park is positioned just 17 miles east of the M1 and 18 miles west of the A1, with the A46 a mere 12-minute drive away.
This central placement gives you fast northbound and southbound motorway access, allowing your company to reach up to 70% of the UK population within a four-hour drive time. Additionally, with East Midlands Airport located just 40 minutes away, your business remains effortlessly connected to national and international supply chains without your drivers having to fight through city-centre gridlock.
Great value for money adaptable to your business
We approach warehousing with an independent, family-run mindset. We offer exceptional value for money by delivering the exact same high-level specifications you would expect from a would expect from a grade A urban last mile facility, but without the inflated city rental levels:
- Heavy-Duty Infrastructure
Every industrial unit is optimised for seamless operations, featuring a minimum 7.5m eaves height, high-load concrete flooring, and multiple high-clearance roller shutter doors.
- HGV-Friendly Layouts
Expansive concrete aprons and yards provide ample room for hassle-free circulation, loading, and lorry parking. - 24/7 Access & Site Security
Business doesn’t stop at 5pm. Occupiers enjoy full 24/7 site access, backed by comprehensive business park wide CCTV coverage and night-time security patrols for total peace of mind. - Cost-Effective Utilities
Because our buildings feature high-quality insulated walls and roofs and plug directly into our on-site renewable energy network, your ongoing operational overheads remain highly competitive.
Happier teams = higher productivity levels
In a competitive job market, staff retention is a significant financial lever for SMEs.
According to the CIPD, the logistics and retail-adjacent sectors face some of the highest annual employee turnover rates in the UK, often hovering between 34% and 41%. When you factor in recruitment fees, onboarding time, and lost productivity, industry benchmarks from Oxford Economics and NatWest Mentor show that replacing a single team member can cost upwards of £60,000.
Providing a workplace that people genuinely enjoy coming to isn’t just a nice gesture, it is a smart strategy to protect your bottom line.
By basing your operations at Burrough Court, you give your team a completely different daily experience. On-site perks aren’t an afterthought here; your team can spend their breaks visiting The Larder coffee shop for locally sourced food and coffee, enjoying the countryside walking routes, or booking a session at the gym or in the infra-red sauna and cold therapy facilities.
When your workforce feels valued and has space to properly recharge, productivity naturally goes up, and the costly cycle of staff turnover goes down.

At Burrough Court, we provide the physical space and the infrastructure your operations need to thrive. From energy-efficient buildings and clean, on-site solar power to the ultra-fast reliability of a dedicated 1GBps leased line.
