Enjoy the Outside at Blisworth Hill Business Park, Towcester

Lakeside and Field Walks

Many studies have shown that taking a lunchtime walk not only boosts productivity during those otherwise sleepy afternoons but can also improve your mood and, when done with colleagues, provides opportunities to discuss the rest of life more freely. It is well known that conversation flows much easier whilst walking. Talking about work is fine too, of course, a little.

At the Blisworth Hill Business Park, near Towcester, we are blessed with having a small lake on-site, complete with a few aquatic residents and waterfowl, and beautiful countryside on our doorstep. Both offer the chance to get outside in the nice weather, stretch your legs, give your back a break from the desk chair, and tear your eyes away from glowing screens.

Of course, as the Spring turns into Summer, and the weather gets hotter please take care in the heat. Stepping outside into a blazing summer’s day from a cool office might make you feel a little dizzy and actually less productive if you don’t drink sufficient water and wear a suitable hat. Reports from Japan suggest this is more likely with men who don’t get enough sleep. Please enjoy the walks, and enjoy a cool drink, perhaps from the on-site Briary Barn Cafe. Taking a daily walk should help you sleep better too.

New Outside Furniture

To enhance our walks and outside space, for Spring and Summer 2022 we have added a selection of recycled furniture from NBB Recycled Furniture. In celebration of being able to socialise freely, a selection of 2-bench and 4-bench tables will be scattered around the Lakeside walk and business park. Ideal for some quiet contemplation, chatting over lunch or having a meeting outside, we hope the new furniture will be well used and loved. We are pleased to be able to continue our green approach and use furniture made entirely from recycled material – putting plastic waste to good use.

Here are some photos of some of our new furniture, sitting quietly whilst awaiting the selection of their new positions in the park.

If you are looking to rent an office near Towcester, which is also really handy for Northampton and MK, then why not take the time to come and look around. We have a number of different sized offices all set in a beautiful location, with plenty of parking, green energy, electrical car charging points and, as we say above, lovely spaces for you to get outside in when not eating at our cafe or using the on-site gym.

Maize Harvest 2021 - Providing Energy for Blisworth Hill
Uncategorised

Maize To Energy – Powering The Blisworth Hill Business Park

Did you know that our country business park is powered using green energy by our AD plant? The Blisworth Hill Farm Anaerobic Digestion plant has just taken delivery of the new maize harvest which will be used to generate 250kW/h of electricity which will be fed directly to Blisworth Hill Business Park. The special thing is, we grew and harvested it too. Excess power, such as that produced at night time, is fed back into the national grid. As a farm and business park, we are proud to be providing our own renewable energy and would love to share a little insight into the process with you. We hope that we might inspire other businesses and farmers to look at ways to provide green energy for themselves and others.

Harvesting maize for The Blisworth Hill AD Plant – Autumn 2021

What is an Anaerobic Digestion Plant?

Anaerobic Digestion Plants (AD Plants) use the methane produced by bacteria (methanogens) when digesting biomass, in our case maize, as a fuel that is used in a generator to make electricity. In effect, it is a carefully controlled process, whereby plant mater is broken down using bacteria into component parts creating a gas rich in methane. The maize is grown specifically to feed this bacteria and is known as “feedstock”. The heat generated by the process is also put to good use heating the feedstock to the optimum temperature of 44 degrees which the bacteria thrive on.

Our maize provides around half of the 6000 tons of feedstock needed to provide power all year round. The maize is rolled and consolidated to remove the oxygen and covered to preserve it in an anaerobic state which can be used throughout the year. The additional 50% of the annual feedstock requirement is made from grass and whole crop.

What Happens to the Digested Biomass from the AD Plant?

Once the gas has been released, the end result is an odour-free product, known as digestate, that is ideal for spreading on the land as fertiliser being rich in important plant-growing elements such as potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. We use this “waste” product as fertiliser for the next round of “feedstock” to be harvested and used next year. The fact that the end product can be used in this way, along with the gas and heat from the digestion process, makes anaerobic digestion a great self-sustaining model of renewable energy production.

Feel Good About The Electricity You Use At Work

It is time to start feeling good about the electricity that you use at work, rather than guilty. It really feels great knowing that the power you use comes from a local and renewable energy source. It can also be a client-pleasing statement to be able to say that you work in a green-energy office.

If you are looking for an office to let in the Northampton and Towcester area, and care about green energy, or would like to know more about our aim to make business greener, then please send us a message or call us on 01327 811 714.

What Happens When You Rent an Office at Blisworth Hill Farm Business Park?

Blisworth Hill farm Business Park has been run by Roy Taylor since 1992 who likes to enjoy a good relationship with the tenants. The Business Park is handy for businesses serving Northampton, Towcester, and Milton Keynes and has many long-term and happy tenants.

Many companies have started at Blisworth Hill Farm Business Park and have grown on the site moving from small to medium and larger sized offices and we are always keen to accommodate existing tenants with a move, allowing leases to be exited early, allowing an easy transition. 

The journey of moving to an office on the business park will start with viewings of potential suitable offices.

You will be shown around the Business Park where you will be shown your parking arrangements, the café, gym and car charging points.  Other things such as the lakeside walk will be highlighted to you. 

Once you have found an office that suits your requirements, we can discuss any partitioning (this is something that can be done in house or you can use your own contractors). 

Once a deal is agreed, we will send you Heads of Terms.

You will then be sent a Lease which will be written up with the agreed deal.  The Lease is an Internal repairing and insuring type.  This means that the Landlord is responsible for the fabric of the building i.e. the roof, walls, external windows, gutters, drains, common parts etc and the tenant is responsible for maintaining their own premises. 

You will also be sent a contract for the supply of fibre optic internet with links to support.  We are lucky enough to have an IT company on site who manage and maintain many of our existing tenants’ internet and software needs.  They can also supply VOIP phone systems and office IT equipment.

Prior to you moving into your new office, it will be fully redecorated, any equipment serviced and the floor coverings either replaced or professionally cleaned.

When you move into the new office, you will be given your keys and also a welcome pack which will explain the working of the Business Park.  You will then be able to arrange for any staff to be inducted into the on-site gym whereupon you will be issued with access fobs.  We will also give you details of support staff for Blisworth Hill Properties and get the relevant contact details of your team.

We look forward to showing you around our beautiful countryside business park. You and your visitors will fall in love with the beautiful setting. Take a look at our offices and come and join us at the Blisworth Hill Business Park.

Having our offices in a spacious rural setting gives us the unique advantage to protect the health and well-being of our community through COVID-19 and beyond. The Blisworth Hill Properties team is committed to working with and supporting you to operate your business.

We are committed to hygiene, safety, and physical distancing best practice in the following ways:

• Most offices have multiple windows that can be opened as officially recommended by the government to maintain ventilation.
• Clear signage at the entrance to the site to make it easier for you to keep appropriate social distance.

We would remind you that every tenant is responsible for their own:
• Office entrance.
• Kitchens & bathrooms.
• Toilets.

Briary Barn Café

The Briary Barn Café staff are working hard to ensure the best cleaning and social distancing practices are in place to ensure a safe environment:
• The Café is currently allowed to serve customers indoors.
• Groups of up to six per table – or two households of any size – are allowed inside.
• Groups seated outside may have up to 30 people.
• Scan QR Code sheets are located at the entrance door, till area exit door and the café staff must make sure all customers over the age of 16 check-in with NHS track and trace, or provide contact details by completing a form from the till area.
• When not seated – for example being shown to a table, or going to the toilet – customers must wear face coverings.
• Social distancing between groups is encouraged.

Briary Barn Gym

The Briary Barn Gym has re-opened, and we advise members of the following:
• Please maintain social distancing in the gym facility wherever possible.
• Please arrive at the Gym in a sports kit and, where possible, travel home/back to the office to change/shower.
• The use of changing rooms and showering facilities should, in general, be avoided where possible.
• Keep music at a level where people do not need to raise their voices to talk to each other.
• Please wash your hands regularly using the basins in the WC’s and apply hand sanitiser.
• Please wipe down each piece of machinery thoroughly after use using the blue paper towel and spray disinfectant provided.
• Dispose of all paper towels in the bin provided.
• Please enter the Gym via the door by the Showers and WC and exit via the door opposite so a one-way system of access/departure is used.
• By using your fobs to access the Gym a temporary record will be kept assisting NHS Test and Trace with requests for that data if needed.
• Please do remember if you start to suffer from the symptoms of COVID-19 and you have attended the Gym, please contact Annie Young at [email protected] immediately.

Having procedures in place will ensure that the well-being of our whole community is protected as much as possible and depends on all of us doing our part.

We Have Babies

“The mallard had 11 or 12 babies to start with a couple of weeks ago and now has 5 – no doubt the heron got hold of a few.”

“The Canadian Geese were on the smaller pond – first time I’ve seen their babies out”

Many thanks for sending these lovely pictures to us – Spring is definitely with us

New Tenants arrive at Blisworth Hill Farm Business Park

At the end of April we welcomed some brand new tenants into our Pond. One of the team from The Start Up Pack, was clearing out his own pond and had a dozen gold fish that he wanted re-homing. We of course were happy to oblige.

It took them a couple of minutes to realise that the World is a lot bigger than they thought it orginally was but once they did however they were off like a shot.

We hope they will be very happy in their new home.
