West Northamptonshire Council is actively promoting the area to businesses looking to invest, relocate, or expand. A new online Commercial Property Search Tool allows companies to identify available land and premises across office, industrial, retail, and mixed-use categories, with filters for size, type, and location.
The council is targeting sectors with growth potential, including advanced manufacturing, life sciences, clean energy, advanced logistics, motorsport, creative and digital industries, and the experience economy. Both greenfield and brownfield development sites are highlighted to support expansion plans.
West Northamptonshire sits within the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor and hosts over 19,000 businesses serving a population of more than 425,000. Recent investment activity includes Marks & Spencer’s £340 million development at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal, which underscores the region’s appeal for logistics and large-scale, technology-driven projects.
The council’s strategy focuses on sustainable, inclusive growth, providing guidance and tools to streamline site selection and facilitate high-value business operations in the area.
