Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“Egstow View Business Park provides an excellent mix of national, regional and local businesses who very much compliment each other.

The new scheme is being delivered by Marroe Developments and they have done an excellent job.  We had Screwifx and Howdens lined up well in advance of completion as we knew these two trade counter businesses would work well in this location.  System Q, a regional business were delighted to join the mix and we hope to announce more exciting names in the coming months.

There are a couple of units left so please do get in touch before it is too late.”

Knight Frank are retained as joint agents alongside FHP Property Consultants.

The property has been refurbished to a high standard and has proved an excellent fit for Burton Roofing’s requirements. It was a pleasure to work with both landlord and tenant on this transaction, and we wish Burton every success at the property.”

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to announce the successful letting of 94-96 Rolleston Drive in Arnold, Nottingham. The property occupies a prominent position just off the A60, one of Nottingham’s key arterial routes, providing excellent connectivity to the city and wider surrounds. Arnold itself is a market town situated approximately 4.5 miles north of Nottingham city centre, benefitting from good public transport links with local bus routes.

The transaction involved a surrender and simultaneous re-grant of a new lease to Ride Dott, who had been actively seeking suitable premises following the award of a recent contract with Nottingham City Council. The deal provided an ideal solution for all parties, enabling Ride Dott to secure a strategically located operational base within close proximity to their service area.

The property comprises two interlinked industrial / warehouse units totalling 9,365 sq ft (GIA) offering two clear-span warehouse spaces alongside ground and first-floor office accommodation. Externally, the site benefits from generous parking provisions and full perimeter access, providing additional storage and operation flexibility. Rolleston Drive sits adjacent to an established industrial cluster with occupiers including Howdens, Total Skills, amongst others.

Amy Howard, Associate Director at FHP, commented:

“It was a great result seeing this letting over the line for all parties involved. I was acting on behalf of my client, Ziztel Ltd, the outgoing tenant at Rolleston Drive. Having secured them a new unit on Glaisdale Parkway Industrial Estate, they were keen to identify a suitable replacement tenant to facilitate an early lease termination. Although initial enquiry levels were steady, the interest from Ride Dott proved to be an excellent match. Following their viewing, it was clear the unit aligned well with their operational requirements. This letting not only achieved a positive outcome for both tenant and landlord but also secured an improved lease term and uplifted rental level for the landlord.

Despite wider economic pressures influencing market confidence, it is encouraging to see transactions continuing to progress across the Nottingham industrial market. Demand remains present, albeit at a more measured pace than in previous years, and we are still witnessing a steady take-up across the region which is encouraging. While supply levels have increased, resulting in some units remaining on the market for longer period, we remain optimistic that activity will continue to build as confidence gradually returns.”

For further information on available industrial units that we currently have on the market, or to discuss your specific property requirements, please contact me on 07887 787894 or via email at amy.howard@fhp.co.uk.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold site in a highly strategic Staffordshire location has been brought to market, offering significant potential for a range of commercial uses, subject to planning.

The land and buildings at the former Bromley Hayes Garden Centre, located on Shaw Lane, Riley Hill, Lichfield (WS13 8HW), extend to approximately 13 acres across three titles, presenting a versatile opportunity for occupiers, investors and developers.

The site occupies a strategic position near Lichfield, benefitting from excellent connectivity to the A515, A38, A5 and M6, and is located in close proximity to Fradley Distribution Park, one of the region’s key logistics hubs.

Existing accommodation on site totals approximately 21,387 sq ft, together with a further 11,500 sq ft of covered external space. The property already benefits from planning consent for change of use to Class E (offices) and B2 (industrial), alongside additional consent for 5,812 sq ft of further floor space.

The scale, location and existing planning position combine to offer significant flexibility, with the site well suited to a range of alternative uses including industrial, open storage or redevelopment schemes, subject to securing the necessary consents.

Caine Gilchrist commented:

“This is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a freehold site of scale in such a well-connected and established location. With existing planning in place and further development potential, the site offers a wide range of options for occupiers and developers looking to deliver a bespoke scheme in a proven logistics and commercial corridor.”

Freehold opportunities of this size and flexibility remain scarce in the region, particularly those offering both immediate use and longer-term redevelopment potential.

Further information is available upon request, with interested parties encouraged to engage at an early stage.

The property is situated on the corner of Mansfield Road and Stores Road, accessed through the Jet petrol station and GP Motors.  Pentagon Island is a short distance away which offers excellent transport links to the A52 to the east, which ultimately leads to Junction 25 of the M1 motorway, and the A38 to the west via the A61.  Within the vicinity there are several trade counter units that are occupied by national and regional tenants as well as motor trade units such as tyre shops and car sales.

The property comprises a semi-detached industrial/warehouse unit situated on a securely fenced and gated site.  The unit is constructed of steel portal frame with a pitched roof.  The warehouse is accessed via two separate roller shutter loading doors and provides clear span warehouse accommodation.  The offices comprise a mixture of open plan accommodation, canteen, W/C facilities and a reception.  The total specification includes:

• 29-acre self-contained site with a gate
• 3 phase power and LED warehouse lighting
• Two roller shutter loading doors
• 5m eaves rising to 5.17m

The premises comprise 7,911ft² and is available to let on new lease terms at a rent of £79,000 per annum.

Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“Mansfield Road has always been a popular motor trade and warehouse location with a mix of local and regional businesses.  The property fronts a busy road and offers excellent transport links out of the heart of Derby. 

It is particularly rare that a property within close to Derby city centre allows motor trade and I suspect that we will receive some strong interest.  I look forward to speaking with all interested parties.”

Typically, there is little stock in and around Long Eaton, particularly offering good quality modern accommodation and as a result there are a number of businesses who have missed out on this opportunity, so please do get in touch if you have available units in this area. 

We do have a couple of larger units available on the same estate where we can offer unit sizes from 24,000ft² to 73,000ft² and I would be delighted to talk with any businesses that may have an interest in these”.

The unit at Finch Close is an excellent example of the type of high-quality accommodation that rarely becomes available on the estate, benefitting from a generous secure yard and gated access. We were confident in achieving a strong outcome for our client and it is great to see the new occupier now taking possession on a solid lease term.”

Clowes Developments, alongside lead contractor Roe Developments, has achieved practical completion of Plot 1 at Stud Brook Business Park in Castle Donington. This milestone marks the successful delivery of five high-quality industrial, warehouse and trade counter units, developed speculatively to meet growing occupier demand in one of the East Midlands most strategically connected commercial locations.

The newly completed units range from 3,234 sq ft to 4,653 sq ft and sit in a highly prominent position off the Castle Donington bypass, just moments from East Midlands Airport and the M1 linking the East Midlands major cities. Their completion reinforces Clowes Developments’ long-standing commitment to delivering modern, high-specification commercial space across the region.

Stud Brook Business Park occupies a highly prominent roadside position, offering occupiers excellent branding opportunities and strong visibility to passing trade. The scheme is arranged around a spacious, open-plan car park with EV charging points and includes a fully operational Starbucks Drive-Thru, further enhancing on-site facilities.

The units have achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’ and an EPC rating of ‘A’. They are photovoltaic roof panel-ready and incorporate 10% natural rooflight panels to maximise internal daylight.

Each unit benefits from its own level-access loading door, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed glazing, and a dedicated entrance, making them ideally suited to trade counter, industrial or warehouse operators.

James Richards, Director at Clowes Developments, said:

“We are proud to present these brand-new trade counter units at Stud Brook Business Park, delivering much-needed, high-quality commercial space at a time when supply of small to mid-sized units remains extremely limited across the region. Our decision to build speculatively reflects our confidence in the local market and the strategic strength of Castle Donington as a business location. With excellent transport links and strong demand from a diverse range of occupiers, we anticipate significant interest in these new units and look forward to welcoming new businesses to the park.”

Tim Gilbertson, Director at FHP Property Consultants commented on the newly completed units:

“Credit again to Clowes Developments for speculatively building out top quality industrial/warehouse/trade counter space at Stud Brook Business Park, Castle Donington.  The latest tranche of development sees five further units built, with sizes ranging from 3,234ft² to 4,653ft², prominently set off the Castle Donington bypass, virtually next to East Midlands Airport.

With the units now ready for occupation and likely to suit a wide variety of occupiers, we are hopeful these buildings will let quickly.”

Richard Sutton, NG Chartered Surveyors added,

“The trade counter phase at Stud Brook presents a rare opportunity for businesses to secure exceptionally versatile space designed to support both operational activity and direct customer interaction from the same premises. This flexibility makes the units ideal for a wide range of occupiers, from plumbers and electrical suppliers to tool hire companies, auto parts specialists and many others.

The location alone offers outstanding visibility, and each unit has been purpose-built for trade counter use, featuring high ceilings, roller shutter doors and strong signage opportunities. This ‘turnkey-ready’ design significantly reduces fit-out costs for incoming occupiers.

Adaptability is at the heart of the scheme, these units can support pure warehouse operations, light industrial processes, showroom and storage uses, distribution and logistics, or retail trade functions, depending on a business’s needs.”

Stud Brook Business Park is already home to a number of well-known businesses, with convenient onsite amenity including a Sainsbury’s Local and Starbuck’s Drive-Thru and the delivery of Plot 1 provides further opportunity for companies seeking modern premises with excellent access to the M1, A50 and A42. Stud Brook is currently one of the few small-scale new build commercial schemes ready for occupation in the East Midlands, reinforcing its position as a leading business park in the region.

The agents are actively welcoming enquiries from potential occupiers, noting the rarity of small units of this quality in such a prominent setting.

To learn more about the development and available units, interested parties are encouraged to get in touch with FHP Property Consultants tim@fhp.co.uk 0115 950 7577 or NG Chartered Surveyors richards@ng-cs.com 0115 958 8599.

FHP Property Consultants are delighted to bring this pair of modern high quality warehouses set on a securely fenced and gated site just off Lenton Lane, Nottingham’s prime location, to the market.

Refurbished throughout, with dock and level access loading, the site is available as a whole with the buildings extending to 6,695m² (72,059ft²).

To be marketed by Tim Gilbertson and John Proctor of FHP, they commented:

“A fabulous refurbishment has been undertaken by our clients on these units which look brand new and offer prime distribution space in Nottingham’s most favoured location, just off Lenton Lane which therefore offers very quick access to the City Centre, Junction 25 of the M1 and Junction 24 via the A453.

 A new lease is available on these rare visitors to the market which total just over 72,000ft².”

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to bring to the market Unit C2 at Centre 38, Barton Business Park, Barton-under-Needwood, a modern industrial and warehouse unit extending to approximately 30,700 sq ft, positioned within one of the Midlands most accessible commercial locations. The property is being marketed by Caine Gilchrist and Darran Severn of FHP, who are overseeing enquiries and viewings.

Centre 38 has firmly established itself as a prime industrial destination along the A38 corridor, providing direct connectivity to the A50, M1 and M6, and easy access to Burton-on-Trent, Lichfield, Derby and Birmingham.  The strength of this location continues to attract occupiers seeking efficient regional distribution and operational advantages.  In Caine’s experience, accessibility remains one of the most decisive factors for businesses looking to relocate or expand, and Centre 38 consistently delivers on that front.

Unit C2 offers a modern steel portal frame construction with generous eaves height suitable for racking, dedicated loading access, secure yard provisions and on-site parking, alongside quality office accommodation.  The layout provides flexibility for a range of occupiers, from logistics and manufacturing to trade counter and distribution uses.  The unit sits within an established business park environment, benefiting from neighbouring national and regional operators that reinforce the park’s commercial strength.

Commenting on the opportunity, Caine Gilchrist said:

“Well-located, mid-sized industrial units of this calibre remain in strong demand, particularly as businesses look to enhance efficiency, consolidate operations or secure stronger transport links.  Despite wider economic uncertainty, demand for quality industrial accommodation has remained resilient, with occupiers prioritising specification and infrastructure over short-term considerations. 

Unit C2 represents a rare opportunity to secure modern space within a proven industrial location and properties of this nature rarely remain available for long.  For businesses seeking a strategic Midlands base with strong road connectivity and operational flexibility, Centre 38 continues to stand out as a compelling choice.”

For further information on Unit C2, Centre 28 or to see how FHP can help you with your property matters, please contact Caine Gilchrist of FHP on 07538 606 880 / caine.gilchrist@fhp.co.uk.

Acting on behalf of private clients, Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants is delighted to confirm the sale of a substantial warehouse of just under 20,000ft² on a large securely fenced and gated site to a local pension fund.

Richard Sutton of NG Chartered Surveyors acted on behalf of the purchaser.

The deal saw a quick sale of the premises agreed after strong initial interest with the sale progressing smoothly through to a speedy exchange and subsequent completion.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“Freeholds throughout the region of any size still remain hugely sought-after, there is a real lack of supply and decent demand as we see the market pick up in general after a poor end to the year created by the confusion the budget and more pertinently the run up to it created.

We are already seeing an increase in enquiries across the board for both freehold and leasehold opportunities in early 2026 and hopefully this will continue throughout the year with more deals in the pipeline.

Any freehold throughout the East Midlands continues to be sought-after and this situation is unlikely to change as there is still a real lack of supply.

As ever, I would be pleased to speak to clients old and possibly new to discuss how we can help sell or let their industrial or warehouse premises at a time when we are starting to see some real strengthening of demand in the market.”

For full details on the sale, please contact Tim Gilbertson on 07887 787 893 or tim@fhp.co.uk.
