Less than 12 months after completion, all six floors of office space at One Waterside Place are now fully occupied, as new tenants move into the building.
Councillor Tricia Gilby, leader of Chesterfield Borough Council and cabinet member for economic growth, said: “We invested in One Waterside Place during the pandemic and it was a key element of our economic recovery. To have now fully let the office spaces within the first year of opening shows how our economy is growing and demonstrates how we can compete with the cities around us to attract both investment and jobs.”
Rosewood Wealth Management is a vibrant local business providing a professional and innovative scope of financial services: a complete financial review through to mortgages, pensions, investments and more. Rosewood has the client at the heart of everything they do.
Shannan Pool-Gorman, director and co-founder of Rosewood Wealth Management, said: “Rosewood is proud to be part of the development at Basin Square. We are passionate about supporting the local area and look forward to playing our part in the next development phase for our beautiful town.”
The development of One Waterside Place was led by local property development and investment firm Bolsterstone Group PLC.
Peter Swallow, managing director of Bolsterstone Group Plc, and Chair of Destination Chesterfield, said: “One Waterside Place is a runaway success story having taken less than 12 months to fully let. When planning the commercial element of Chesterfield Waterside at Basin Square, we knew that the proximity of the train station would be a major pull for businesses. It has certainly been the case. We are now looking to deliver the next stages of Basin Square and anticipate similar success.”
One Waterside Place was Highly Commended in the Regeneration and Restoration Project of the Year Award at the 2023 East Midlands Property Dinner organised by Insider Media. It was also Runner Up in the Commercial Development of the Year category at Business Link Magazine’s annual East Midlands Bricks Awards.
One Waterside Place provides bespoke office accommodation for established businesses – offering a modern, high-quality base for ambitious companies looking to grow and thrive in a central and well-connected location.
The 35,000 sq.ft. building delivers Grade A, large floorplate office accommodation, which does not exist elsewhere in Chesterfield. The building incorporates two passenger lifts, raised access flooring, air conditioning, LED lighting, a high-quality entrance foyer, showers, on-site cycle parking facilities as well as an attractive public realm and landscaping.
The building has been designed with sustainability in mind, boasting a BREEAM score of Very Good and an EPC A rating for its energy performance.
One Waterside Place sits within the £75 million first phase of the Basin Square neighbourhood which includes a mixed-use development as part of the £340million Chesterfield Waterside regeneration scheme.
This area will be landscaped to a high-quality standard with the canal basin being at the heart of the scheme, creating a great environment to spend time in on the edge of the town centre alongside a central community hub for occupiers and residents of the Chesterfield Waterside scheme.
The canal basin site has been brought forward with support from the South Yorkshire Combined Authority Infrastructure Fund. One Waterside Place was funded by Chesterfield Borough Council.
With £2 billion of developments in the pipeline, Chesterfield’s vibrant property and construction sector stands as a cornerstone of the town’s economic development.
More than 50 businesses from the sector support local growth through the Chesterfield Champions network. In addition, the town’s Property and Construction Group provides expertise to support the area’s key regeneration projects. As well as encouraging open conversations around the opportunities and challenges facing the industry.
The sector offers an exciting and diverse range of roles, from planning and design right through to project build. Despite this, a complex set of challenges around skills and recruitment still exists. In the East Midlands, 17,500 more workers in the industry by 2027 according to CITB.
Businesses in Chesterfield work proactively to showcase the breadth of careers available in the industry through the Made in Chesterfield scheme, which involves firms opening their doors and offering tours for young people from schools in the town. Since its launch in 2014, Made in Chesterfield has provided more than 3,500 young people with insights into what a career in construction can offer.
Getting involved with Made in Chesterfield for the first time this year is Dalton Roofing, a business which moved its base to Chesterfield around five years ago and has seen continued growth since relocating here. The firm continues to train enthusiastic young recruits as part of that expansion, and its owner is now encouraging more people in his sector to act as ‘positive role models’ to address skills shortages.
Phil Dalton believes the personal touch is key to nurturing up-and-coming talent: “You have to make them believe in themselves to make them the best they can be.”
“As a roofing company, we’re in a very specialist industry. We’ve got 12 teams, and they are all homegrown.
“We send our apprentices to college and have in-house roofing rigs to train them. We’ve got a really good site manager, Paul Stephenson who is an award-winning roofer himself, and he passes a lot on through mentoring our trainees.”
Chesterfield is not standing still in terms of addressing the skills gap. A new Construction Skills Hub is now running in Staveley, giving people access to a live building site to hone their skills and kickstart their careers. The hub aims to boost the sector by training more than 5,000 workers by 2030.
Phil believes that now is a great time for people to get into the sector, despite challenging economic conditions across the UK: “It’s a skill for life. I left school in 1985 and they were tough times, just off the back of the miners’ strikes.
“My parents told me to learn a trade, so that’s what I did. I did roofing for my work experience and went to college to do roof slating and tiling. That has kept me in work all my life. So, I think that it’s important for young people to upskill, re-train and learn a trade.”
Supporting this year’s Made in Chesterfield campaign, Phil says he is looking forward to passing on his passion for construction to the next generation.
He added: “It gives you a sense of pride. The thing about roofing is you can look back on a project and say to yourself ‘I did that.’ Getting into construction is amazing; you can take it anywhere in the world! We now deal with renewables and green construction, focusing on new technologies such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting. Roofing is one of probably more than a hundred different roles in construction alone.”
Looking to the future, Phil believes that all organisations have a role in ensuring the sector has enough skilled people to thrive and grow: “I would say to any business that they need young people, or even slightly older people who are looking to upskill and retrain, as they are the future of our industry.
“As a sector, we need to pass on our skills and wisdom and act as a positive role model. We’ve got to keep training people of all ages to ensure our sector has enough skilled people to survive in the future. There is also a massive gap in our industry for women. We’d love to see more women coming into construction, especially roofing!”

A campaign which aims to close skills gaps in Chesterfield by providing young people with tours of leading manufacturing, engineering and construction businesses is returning for the tenth time.
Made in Chesterfield has already introduced more than 3,600 young people to the prospect of a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) sectors, with more set to gain valuable insights this November.
Figures published in East Midlands Chamber’s Q3 economic survey revealed that 58% of manufacturers across the region which tried to recruit experienced problems in finding suitable staff. At the same time, Chesterfield Borough Council has forecast that 3750 people are expected to be working in the sector across the borough by 2030.
These figures outline the requirement for a strong, skilled pipeline of talented individuals to secure the future growth of these industries across the town.
During Made in Chesterfield, secondary school pupils will gain access to firms such as Weightron Bilanciai – an international firm that makes industrial weighbridges, Superior Wellness, a hot tub manufacturer listed as one of the UK’s top 50 fastest-growing businesses, and Dalton Roofing, a family-run business operating in Chesterfield’s property and construction sector.
Ivan Fomin, Managing Director at MSE Hiller and Destination Chesterfield Board Member commented: “Made in Chesterfield continues to play an important role in showcasing the wide range of career options available to young people in our town.
“Having hosted several tours at my own business, I’ve seen first-hand how the campaign inspires those thinking about their future options. We know a career in manufacturing can be extremely rewarding, and our sector needs to keep generating a strong pipeline of talented individuals for the future to keep our business and wider economy thriving.”
Julie Richards, Principal and CEO of the Chesterfield College Group commented: “Having sponsored Made in Chesterfield for the past few years I’ve seen the real impact the initiative has. As a stepping stone between student and employer, we are proud to help this campaign inspire young people considering a rewarding career in Chesterfield’s growing manufacturing, engineering and construction industries.
“With work on our new cutting-edge Engineering, Manufacturing and Science Centre due to commence this year and our partnership with the Construction Skills Hub now running in Staveley we’ll continue to equip more local people with the right skills required to build a successful career and help to strengthen the local and regional economy.”

Revised Phase 1 planning applications have now been submitted to Chesterfield Borough Council for the Gateway at PEAK, which has been consented on 300 acres of land regenerated from opencast mining located on the eastern boundary of the Peak District National Park, outskirts of Chesterfield.
The Gateway is intended to play an important role in cementing Chesterfield as a destination town and as part of the Peak District experience providing visitors to the region and the local community with low impact ways to explore the National Park thanks to a zero-carbon travel hub.

Marketed by letting specialists Commercial Property Partners (CPP), alongside Knight Frank, on behalf of the Devonshire Property Group, interest to date in the brand new, terraced, industrial warehouse accommodation has been exceptionally strong, resulting in three of the units already snapped up with a fourth under offer – leaving just two available.

CPP Senior Surveyor Max Pickering said: “Hartington Business Park has been built to a high specification and is in a great location for a range of commercial or industrial businesses looking to have a base in central Derbyshire.
“Its easy access to the M1 has garnered interest from a variety of would-be tenants and we are confident the remaining units will be occupied in the very near future.
“Its accessibility to a large skilled workforce within commuting distance of Chesterfield, Sheffield, Doncaster and Nottingham, has also been a strong pull for businesses looking to relocate.”
Commenting on the recent deals, Adam Mayfield, Property Development Surveyor at the Devonshire Property Group said, “We are delighted at the current appetite for Hartington Business Park, testament to a first-class build, fit out and premium location.
“Our thanks to the team at CPP for their support and expertise in securing the current deals and ongoing marketing.”
