The 20,000 square foot Rowan House factory in Hortonwood went up for rent this week for £170,000 per year.

For around 25 years the building was home to Telford bus seat manufacturer Rowan Telmac, which made seats for double-deckers at the site from 1987 until the firm fell into administration in November 2021.

Now, after a refurbishment, agent Halls Commercial said the site is ready for a new tenant and boasts "excellent regional and national transport links" which the agent said make it ideal for businesses requiring logistics and distribution facilities.
