There’s a reason more and more businesses are choosing Mill Road Industrial Estate. It’s not just the location, although being just minutes from the M9 with quick access to Falkirk, Edinburgh and Glasgow certainly helps. It’s not just about the wide range of modern, flexible spaces. What truly sets Mill Road apart is the environment — a supportive, secure and connected place to do business.
We’ve seen this firsthand. Several of our tenants began their journey right here at Boxxs Self Storage. What started as needing extra space to store tools and materials quickly grew into something more. Within months, these entrepreneurs had moved into industrial units at Mill Road. It’s proof that the estate supports businesses at every stage, from startup to scale-up.
One of the unique strengths of Mill Road is how well it adapts to the needs of individuals and companies. Take Boxxs Self Storage, for example. It provides 24/7 access to clean, weatherproof drive-up storage with gated entry and secure CCTV monitoring. Tradespeople from Bo’ness, Polmont and Falkirk rely on these units for equipment storage, while online retailers and small e-commerce businesses use them for stock. The estate draws people in — and then helps them grow.
We’ve also seen a strong sense of loyalty develop. Businesses that start here stay here. Why? Because it works. The location is excellent. The setup is practical. The lease terms are clear, and the management is responsive. There’s a straightforwardness to Mill Road that tenants value. There is no red tape, no complications, just space that works.
And we’re not standing still. Planning was recently approved for a new hybrid modular workspace development in the estate. Backed by SRA Ventures, this innovative project will deliver nine double-container units designed for small businesses that want something more bespoke. Each unit will have dedicated parking, roller-shutter storage space, an office, a kitchenette, and a WC — all wrapped in a thermally efficient, sustainable envelope.
We’re not just building units; we’re creating opportunity. These new spaces are tailored for trades, microbusinesses, and startups that want a professional setup with the flexibility to scale. They have vehicle charging, PV panels, and a design that takes long-term functionality seriously.
The development perfectly reflects Mill Road’s stand for accessible, well-designed, future-ready space for serious business owners. It adds another layer to the estate’s offer—not only storage and traditional units but premium small-scale workshops that blur the line between warehouse and office.
The local community is part of the story, too. Our tenants include well-known national names like Screwfix, Howdens and Arco, and growing businesses with deep roots in West Lothian. Companies like Centravend and Golf Poser started small and scaled up within the estate. This mix creates a vibrant, balanced ecosystem where ideas are exchanged, referrals are passed along, and progress feels visible.
Arco’s investment in the area is a great example. Their Linlithgow safety centre offers advanced training facilities for local businesses, adding value to the community. It’s not just about occupying a unit, it’s about contributing to a broader network.
When people look for workspace near Falkirk, Bo’ness, or Polmont, they increasingly find their way to Mill Road. We’ve become a hub for trades, SMEs, and professionals who need convenience, flexibility, and a landlord who gets it. And we’re just getting started.
