Major milestone at Gainsborough business park with just two units remaining
Stirlin is celebrating the continued success of its Wharton Place development in Gainsborough, with just two commercial units now remaining for sale.
Located within Foxby Lane Business Park, Wharton Place has grown into an established commercial community, providing modern, high-quality business space for a diverse mix of occupiers and property investors.
The development is now home to a range of successful businesses, including AEA Packaging, Simply Safe Car Seats, The Great British Bulb Company and Extruder Services, with strong take-up demonstrating continued demand for quality commercial premises in the Gainsborough area.
With only two units remaining, the development is approaching an important milestone and reflects Stirlin’s wider commitment to creating commercial spaces that support business growth, attract investment and contribute positively to the local economy.


Wharton Place forms part of Stirlin’s wider track record of commercial development in Gainsborough, following the successful delivery of Stirlin Place and Willoughton Place.
Together, the developments have created high-quality business accommodation for a diverse range of local and regional companies, supporting continued investment, business growth and employment within the area.
James Kirby, owner of Stirlin, said: “It’s fantastic to see Wharton Place develop into the thriving business community we envisaged when the scheme was first brought forward.
“We’ve invested in commercial development in Gainsborough over a number of years and it’s incredibly rewarding to see Stirlin Place, Willoughton Place and now Wharton Place become established locations for growing businesses.
“The strong take-up across the developments demonstrates the demand for high-quality commercial space in the area and gives us real confidence in what we’ve created.”
“With the last two units now remaining at Wharton Place, we’re approaching another significant milestone. We’d encourage those considering a move or commercial property investment in Gainsborough to enquire now and secure one of the final opportunities to become part of this thriving and established business community.”
Sally Grindrod-Smith, director of Planning, Regeneration and Communities at West Lindsey District Council, said: “Wharton Place is a great example of how investment in high-quality commercial space can help businesses to grow, create jobs and strengthen the local economy.
“It is encouraging to see the development thriving, with a range of successful businesses now established on site, and the final units represent an excellent opportunity for other businesses looking to invest in Gainsborough.
“Supporting sustainable economic growth remains a key priority, and developments such as Wharton Place play an important role in attracting investment and creating prosperity for our communities.”
Will Downing, director of Pygott & Crone Estate Agents, said: “We’ve found Wharton Place to be one of the strongest commercial developments in Lincolnshire. The estate is immaculately presented and well maintained, and the units themselves are thoughtfully designed, offering high-quality, versatile space with excellent parking and circulation.
“Wharton Place is Stirlin Group’s third commercial development in Gainsborough, following the success of Willoughton Place and Stirlin Place, both of which are now fully occupied. That track record really demonstrates the quality of the product and the demand for well-located commercial space in the area.”
