Who We Are
The Una Group are a multi-award-winning business, operating in the commercial property and business investment field.
The company was formed by David Young and Ian Brooking in 2004, after bringing like-minded individuals together for one business project and finding that by working together, other opportunities arose which could be better tackled by the group than by any one individual working alone. This inspired our name – ‘una’ is Latin for “all together as one”- and reflects our business philosophy of togetherness and teamwork.
What We Do
Our commercial property portfolio is made up of a wide range of business premises (including offices, warehouses and industrial units) across five different business parks in Plymouth.
The Airport Business Centre in Estover offers maximum flexibility and is home to a versatile range of business space. Broadley Park Road, Devonshire Meadows, Devon Enterprise Facility, and Eaton Business Park offer longer term industrial space, with a combination of open storage, industrial and commercial premises.
We also passionately believe in backing good people who have great business ideas and as a result, we have been involved with and have made investments in a number of different businesses from various sectors over the years.
In the past we have created a unique waste rubber processing plant through our Crumb Rubber business which produced ultra-fine rubber powder. From this recycled material we invented a novel roofing slate through Dynaslate Ltd and have been involved in new materials development through Verneos Ltd from which we still earn income from licencing the intellectual property created.
We have also previously supported the growth of Burts Chips as funders/shareholders, and they remain one of our biggest tenants.
