About Commercial Units in Kettering
Kettering sits in the heart of Northamptonshire's logistics corridor, offering commercial property occupiers direct A14 access between the M1 (Junction 19) and A1 (Brampton Hut, Junction 21). Its central position has made it a well-established distribution location in the East Midlands, anchored by Symmetry Park, a 136-acre logistics park at A14 Junction 9 with outline consent for 2.3 million sq ft, with a large concentration of national and regional distribution centres established across the town's industrial estates.
The town has evolved significantly beyond its historical roots in boot and shoe manufacturing and clothing production. Today, Kettering supports a diverse commercial base spanning logistics, professional services, engineering, food production, and technology. North Northamptonshire's population grew 13.5% between 2011 and 2021, more than double the 6.6% growth rate for England, driving consistent housing and commercial development across the wider area.
Kettering benefits from Midland Main Line rail services with journey times to London St Pancras of approximately 55 minutes, making it viable for commercial tenants requiring occasional London access. East Midlands, Luton, and Birmingham airports are all within reach for international connectivity.
Strong tenant demand continues across warehouse, industrial, and office sectors. Development remains active along the A14 corridor: Symmetry Park has a 956,000 sq ft unit under construction for completion in Q3 2026, following pre-lets to Greggs and Iron Mountain, and Kettering Business Park continues to offer design-and-build plots at Cherry Hall Road.
Business character
Kettering's commercial economy is anchored by logistics and distribution, thanks to the A14 corridor providing east-west road connectivity between the M1 and the A1. Major regional distribution centres for national retailers and third-party logistics operators cluster around Telford Way Industrial Estate and Kettering Venture Park. Other significant employers include Weetabix (Burton Latimer), Morrisons Distribution (Burton Latimer), Greggs (national distribution centre, Symmetry Park), Iron Mountain (Symmetry Park) and Wicksteed Park.
Beyond logistics, the town has a strong manufacturing base including RS Components (electronics distribution, headquartered nearby in Corby) and Weetabix (Burton Latimer, adjacent). Growing sectors include professional services, technology, engineering, and food production. The North Northamptonshire Council area continues to attract commercial investment across all sectors.

Market context
