Industrial/Warehouse News

With freehold space still at a premium throughout the East Midlands, any industrial or warehouse building that is available to buy is continuing to create good interest despite the current less than perfect economic situation in the country.

Tim Gilbertson, Director of FHP is therefore delighted to confirm a further sale in that sector as 18,000ft² of good quality second-hand space in Mansfield has been sold to expanding local company, Wortley Brothers Wooden Gates.

After creating good interest in the building following extensive marketing, Wortley Brothers were the chosen party to progress with and the sale to them has now completed.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“Again, this latest freehold disposal shows the strength of that sector, freehold space throughout the East Midlands and indeed further afield continues to be in short supply and I’m delighted with the work undertaken here on behalf of our clients and the end result achieved. This is a particularly pleasing sale as our purchasers, Wortley Brothers Wooden Gates, were an absolute joy to work with and we wish them well for the future. I’m sure the property will help their continued growth and expansion throughout the region.”

The purchaser, Paul Wortley of Wortley Brothers Wooden Gates commented:

“Tim and FHP were very helpful during the whole process to help us secure the property, assisting us with any queries along the way. As a business this has allowed us to purchase our workplace after over 20 years of trading and we will be looking to let some of the space out for other local companies. This will allow us to let two units at 4,750ft² each once full refurbishment has taken place.”

Tim Gilbertson concluded by adding:

“Whilst everyone knows the economy isn’t in the greatest of shapes at present, we still continue to encounter good levels of demand for all freehold industrial or warehouse space throughout the region of literally any size.

Therefore, as we draw towards the end of the year, if any clients old or possibly new are looking to put their property on the market then I would be delighted to hear from them and hopefully have similar success.”
