Developer Riverside Park Ltd has announced that the Wirral Primary Care Trust (PCT) has taken space within its Riverside Park development on the International Business Park in Bromborough, Merseyside.
The Condition Management Programme - a recently formed initiative by Wirral PCT that works in partnership with Job Centre Plus to help people move forward in their lives after illness or injury - has taken 4,300 sq ft of space at the Wirral development for its main head quarters premises and training base. Joint agents Mason Owen and GVA Grimley acted behalf of Riverside Park.
When it was originally set up by Wirral PCT and Job Centre Plus almost two years ago, the Condition Management Programme's remit only covered Wirral and part of Merseyside. It is due to the success of the programme that the team has now doubled and will now be rolled out across the whole of Merseyside to include St Helens, Widnes and Central Liverpool.
The team of 31 staff is set to move into their brand new offices at Riverside Park in May 2008.
Set within a well-established business area which has already attracted many world-leading brands, Riverside Park enjoys stunning views across the River Mersey to the world famous Liverpool waterfront and will, when completed, provide 250,000 sq ft (23,225 sq m) of brand new, Grade A high quality office accommodation.
Impressive externally and internally, Riverside Park buildings boast state of the art reception areas, air conditioning and high quality finishes throughout. Within a carefully landscaped setting, which complements the surrounding waterside and country parkland, the buildings provide a secure working environment.
Ideally located close to the M53/M56, the Mersey Tunnel and Liverpool John Lennon Airport Riverside Park also has proximity to amenities including retail, leisure, hotel and health & fitness facilities as well as riverside walks and leisure and recreation areas that are added extras for future occupiers and their staff.
Speaking about their imminent move and why they chose Riverside Park for their new premises Neil Perris, Programme Manager at Wirral PCT said:
"Over the next year the Condition Management Programme will seek to see 2,300 people a year to help patients with a long term physical or mental health condition back into work - the idea is to help people to self manage their condition so that they can reach their full potential. For some time we had been looking for new premises to house the growing team that will undertake this work.
"When Mason Owen suggested Riverside Park we were impressed by its modern facilities and location. We also needed our new premises to be able provide excellent IT capabilities as well as a great working environment for all of our staff and Riverside offered us all of this and more which is why we have chosen to move here."
Chris Connor from Mason Owen added " We are delighted to welcome PCT to Riverside Park, which is now one of the region's most impressive office schemes with a new phase ready in October. "
