Townsend Enterprise Park: A Hub for Innovation and Community in Belfast
Townsend Enterprise Park has been a cornerstone of the local community since 1986. Our mission is to promote the social and economic regeneration of Belfast and provide exceptional support to entrepreneurs, established businesses, social enterprises, and everyone in between.
At Townsend Enterprise Park, we create a dynamic environment where businesses thrive. Our facilities include a mix of modern offices, industrial units, and meeting spaces, designed to cater to various business and charity needs. Whether you’re a startup looking for a launching pad, a growing business needing more space, or a social enterprise seeking a new base of operations, we’ve got you covered.
Fostering a Supportive Business Community
What makes Townsend Enterprise Park truly special is our commitment to fostering a supportive and collaborative community. We host regular networking events, workshops, and training sessions to help our tenants connect, learn, and grow together. Our community is a melting pot of industries and talents, making it an exciting and creative home in which your organisation can grow and thrive.
We understand that running a business or charity is about more than just having a place to work. It’s about accessing the right resources and support. Our dedicated team provides assistance, whether it’s social media support, sign-posting to technical expertise, or simply a friendly chat to brainstorm new ideas. We’re here to help you navigate challenges and celebrate successes.
Trailblazing Sustainability
We’re proud to be leading the way in sustainability in business. We’ve made significant investments in reducing our carbon footprint and overall impact on the environment, and have signed up to the Belfast Business Promise. Ways in which we are doing this include:
Energy: reduced our own usage through investing in energy efficiency measures, generate much of our energy from a large solar PV system, and take the remainder of our energy from 100% renewable sources.
Waste: through education, working with our service provider and separating waste we’ve reduced the amount of waste going to landfill from our site, with the vast majority of the waste we and our tenants create now being recycled. We also work hard to reduce the amount of waste we produce through careful procurement, doing our best to avoid single-use plastics, excessive packaging and chemicals.
Travel: support Translink’s ‘Better-on-Board Charter’ to encourage staff and visitors to use public transport, being beside a Glider stop and less than 10 minutes’ walk from Grand Central Station. We also promote walk/cycle to work schemes.
Green Spaces: incorporate green spaces in all our development to reduce heat island effects, support drainage and encourage biodiversity.
Through these initiatives, and others, we’re setting a benchmark for sustainable business practices in our community. If we all do our bit, together we can make significant progress towards a more sustainable environment.
Community and Heritage in West Belfast
We play a crucial role in driving and lobbying for investment and positive built-environment improvements in the local area. We work hard to celebrate and educate people about the rich industrial, social, and cultural heritage of the area. Our local communities have much to be proud of, with more that unites them than divides. Our location is steeped in history and easily accessible, with excellent transport links making commuting and logistics a breeze.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We’re proud of our green initiatives that reduce our environmental footprint, including solar energy, energy-efficient systems, and recycling programs. Our goal is to create a sustainable working environment that benefits both our tenants and the wider community. As a charity with a volunteer board and audited report and accounts, tenants can be assured that we have their best interests at heart, not those of shareholders.
