The Cedars becomes flagship Wakefield property

Hemsworth-based centre achieves Leading Edge status

The Cedars Business Centre has become the first property in Wakefield to become ict active.

The centre, located in Hemsworth in the West Yorkshire city, has been specifically designed to cater for the needs of new, infancy and expanding businesses.

And now the centre has become a flagship property by gaining the sought-after rating of Leading Edge under ict active – the first property in Wakefield to achieve the rating and only the third in the West Yorkshire.

Phil Murray, from The Cedars Business Centre, says, “We are delighted to have achieved the Leading Edge status under ict active. I believe this is testament to the good work we have done here and will continue to do.

“This will hopefully highlight the fact that business centres don’t need to be located in the middle of cities to be able to offer the highest possible level of ICT to clients.

“Hemsworth used to be a colliery site and it has had to undergo a lot of regeneration to get moving again – and that is mirrored by the work we do here – helping businesses. Achieving the ict active mark is testament to that work.”

Liz Wallis, managing director of ict active, says, “We are delighted that The Cedars has achieved the Leading Edge status. They are an important property in their region and the first Wakefield building to become ict active.

“We hope that many more properties in the city will look at the work The Cedars is doing and the fact they are now a flagship ict active centre and want to follow suit.”
