Following completion of the new-build industrial development at Crown Park, we are pleased to announce the first two units have been sold.  The first unit has been purchased for occupation by Sunset VW as part of their expansion.  The second unit has been let to Screwfix and simultaneously sold to a local investor.

Darran Severn, of FHP Property Consultants, commented:

“Built to suit a variety of potential industrial/warehouse occupiers, these are great buildings and the appearance of the buildings tells their own story.  The units are easily accessible off the A38 and provide high calibre warehouse space.  There are four remaining units, which could be taken individually or combined, providing accommodation from 4,465 ft² to 17,992 ft².  The units are available to either purchase or lease. 

The industrial market remains resilient and we are already in discussions with another business looking to acquire a unit at Crown Park.  Further details to be announced shortly.

I look forward to speaking with interested parties to build on the success already achieved.”

It’s not often we have the chance to sell small industrial or distribution units with their own yard in Kirkby or indeed anywhere around Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway, so it’s a pleasure for Chris Proctor and Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants to bring to the market a small unit on Summit Close, just off the A38 at Kirkby in Ashfield.

With car parking to the front elevation, this building also benefits from a good sized secure fenced and gated yard, whilst the unit itself offers well proportioned storage or production space with some really nice offices within.

Chris and Tim commented:-

“Freehold opportunities to purchase in the region still remain rare, and our clients intended relocation enables us here to offer a good quality building on a good sized site which should hopefully not hang around for long.

 With the building being well looked after by our clients and sitting as it does close to the A38 and Junction 28 of the M1, we are hopeful that a speedy deal can be agreed.”

The building extends to just over 5,000ft², and if this might be of interest then please contact either Chris Proctor (07747 464 770 / chris@fhp.co.uk) or Tim Gilbertson (07887 787 893 / tim@fhp.co.uk).

With the benefit of its own securely fenced and gated large yard and car park, Unit B1 Concorde Way, Millennium Business Park offers good quality storage or potential production space which is immediately available on a new lease.

The current occupier is leaving due to outgrowing the space, which is great news to hear as the industrial and distribution market continues to perform well with stock levels still lower than would be ideal.

This building offers an excellent opportunity for any expanding distribution or potential manufacturing company to take self-contained space which provides an excellent working environment.

To be marketed by Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP, early interest is sought with the building available immediately on a new lease.

For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact either Tim Gilbertson (07887 787 893 / tim@fhp.co.uk) or Chris Proctor (07747 464 770 / chris@fhp.co.uk).

There are not many opportunities to acquire a trade counter unit with frontage to Ascot Drive in Derby, so it is a pleasure to put on the market Unit 8, Newmarket Court, Ascot Drive, Derby.

Ascot Drive is a busy arterial road and is home to numerous trade counter operators in Derby.  The premises have recently been refurbished and present in excellent condition.  The warehouse is finished to a shell specification ready to receive the tenant’s fit-out.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2,873 ft² and is available to lease for a term to be agreed.

Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“This is an excellent opportunity to acquire trade counter / warehouse space located within in one of Derby’s main trade counter locations.  The warehouse has frontage to Ascot Drive, as well as its main entrance off Newmarket Drive, where it benefits from excellent delivery access and parking.

Given the location of the property, I expect to receive good interest and I look forward to speaking with prospective parties”.

I am delighted to make available one of the best buildings in the Junction 28 industrial and distribution market at Station Park in Kirkby in Ashfield.  Originally developed by Sladen Estates, the building is due to be refurbished shortly by our clients and a new lease will be made available.

The building is approximately 15 years old and sits in an excellent position just off the A38 opposite Sutton Parkway Station and is within moments access of Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway.

To be marketed by Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP they commented:-

“We are delighted to put this building on the market, it is one of the best second hand buildings available around the Junction 28 area, and with the planned refurbishment starting on site soon this will be an excellent opportunity for any expanding company.

We originally let this building over 15 years ago and since then it has had just one occupier, so we are hopeful of quickly finding another new tenant for the building in the near future.

With the benefit of a big car park to the front elevation and an ever bigger rear yard, the unit suits production or distribution on a large scale and with a new lease available on the space which is to be refurbished we hope that we can quickly find a new tenant to benefit from this smashing building.”

For further information on this unit which extends to 2,538.9m² (27,328ft²) plus mezzanine of 137.9m² (1,484ft²) please contact Chris Proctor (07747 464 770 / chris@fhp.co.uk) or Tim Gilbertson (07887 787 893 / tim@fhp.co.uk).

Castle Donington is a popular Industrial location with excellent connectivity to the M1 motorway, A50 and East Midlands Airport.  B3 Langham Park is situated off Trent Lane and provides high calibre warehouse/production space.  The property extends to approximately 5,101 ft².

Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“Following an abortive sale, we placed the property back on the market in June and were able to agree a new sale within one week.  The property has been sold to an owner occupier at a price breaking back to approximately £93 per ft².

There is currently good demand for freehold industrial/warehouse units between 1,000 ft² and 5,000 ft² in Castle Donington,  partly due to a lack of supply, but also due to strong demand from businesses who are currently renting and looking to benefit from owing their own premises.  As a result, I believe we could have sold this property three or four times.  If you are considering selling your warehouse property and would like some initial advice, then please do not hesitate to contact me”.

Matthew Wade of Musson Liggins, acting on behalf of private clients, commented:

“We were instructed to acquire a modern industrial freehold with good transport links for a new business venture.  The industrial market remains resilient in an ever-changing market and we were delighted to be able to secure the building in the face of stiff competition”.

Nottinghamshire’s distribution and industrial market tends to be dominated with stock around Junction 26 of the M1 which serves Nottingham and Junction 28 which links to the A38 serving Mansfield, Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield to the east and Alfreton and Somercotes to the west.

The junction in between though, Junction 27 which is dominated by Sherwood Park, has some of the best quality stock in the East Midlands, as a result of this whole area being developed out from Enterprise Zone status some 20 years ago now.

Accordingly, all of the buildings on that park are good quality and modern and it is no surprise therefore that Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants has just completed a further letting of well-presented warehouse space extending to just over 15,000ft² on the park.

Tim commented:-

“This letting is one of a string that I have completed on Willow Drive on Sherwood Park over the last few years, all for the same client.  Our client here wisely invested in a number of properties on the estate many years ago, and subsequently, we have let all of his stock a number of times and also complete his rent reviews and lease renewals.

The latest deal reflects again the good quality space that is available on Sherwood Park and it is equally pleasing that we have attracted a quality tenant in Vink UK Limited, a strong covenant who we know are taking on a high calibre building.

We wish them well to the future in this excellent space.”

Dominic Bowen of Vink the new Tenants of the unit commented:-

“After months of searching for a suitable unit, we are delighted to be moving into our new East Midlands distribution centre on Sherwood Park. The unit is perfect to support our future growth plans.”

With demand still being encountered throughout the East Midlands for industrial and warehouse space both to rent and purchase and deals being done across the board, the market is alive even in these testing times.

If we can help you dispose of your commercial property, then please do contact Tim Gilbertson on 0115 950 7577 / tim@fhp.co.uk.

With market demand remaining consistently good throughout the East Midlands for opportunities to buy or rent good quality production or storage space, hopefully, this positive market sentiment will continue for the foreseeable future as it still remains the case that there is an imbalance between supply and demand.

Therefore, as FHP bring to the market Unit D Salcombe Road in Alfreton, hopefully, this will provide a new home to at least one of the parties currently looking for space to buy or rent in the region.

At just over 20,000ft² it is a good quality building and Tim Gilbertson commented:-

“I previously let this building for our clients and once again they would like to rent or sell the property.  It is a really good simple building, forming part of a small development that sits on its own securely fenced and gated shared site.

It also benefits from a good location, just off the A38 and Junction 28 of the M1 therefore having easy access to the motorway network.

This building would be ideal for any production or distribution use given that it offers very simple configuration and with good loading access and allocated car parking, I hope that we can quickly encourage new interest.

For further information on the availability of this building or to arrange a viewing, please contact either Chris Proctor (07747 464 770 / chris@fhp.co.uk), Darran Severn (07917 460 031 / darran@fhp.co.uk) or Tim Gilbertson (07887 787 893 / tim@fhp.co.uk).

Chris Proctor MRICS commented: –

“NWLDC had a total of 21 voids in their Commercial Property Portfolio, following a further 2 lettings due to complete this month this number will be down to 13.  Working with them in the past couple of months, we have put together a detailed marketing plan with a flexible leasing structure to allow many small businesses to benefit and progress despite the testing times.

This year has put pressure on a significant number of small businesses ability to be profitable. NWLDC are helping ease the pressure by providing good quality office & industrial space on flexible lease terms.”

There are not many buildings throughout the East Midlands that have the benefit of cranage, so it is a pleasure to put on to the market cost effective production or potential storage space in Ripley, just off the A38.

The premises on Peasehill Road offer cost effective space with a secure shared yard and an additional self-contained car park.

At just over 12,000ft² the building is very flexible and could be used for a number of uses.

To be marked by Chris Proctor, Darran Severn and Tim Gilbertson of FHP they commented:-

“It is not often that buildings with cranes become available so hopefully for any engineering company where cranage would be of benefit, this building might appeal.

Equally though, it could be used for storage or alternative uses and so hopefully we will encourage interest in the building quickly.

 A new lease is available and we look forward to showing potentially interested tenants around.”

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants on behalf of Clowes Developments is pleased to announce the completion of the off market investment sale of Unit B2, Crown Park on Parcel Terrace in Derby which provides a securely let industrial investment let to Screwfix.

FHP Property Consultants acted on behalf of Clowes Developments, the vendor, with Will Torr of HEB Chartered Surveyors acting on behalf of the purchaser, Bassi Properties Limited.

Crown Park is made up of five new build units ranging from 2,508ft² to 7,696ft.  The estate is situated just off the A516 Uttoxeter New Road which provides rapid access to both the centre of Derby and the A38.

Anthony Barrowcliffe who brokered the deal commented:

“I am delighted with the outcome of this investment sale having offered this to a select number of investors with Will Torr’s client agreeing a figure satisfactory to both parties.

I personally enjoyed dealing with my old university colleague on this deal and felt this was an excellent and efficient business transaction all round.”

Will Torr who acted for the purchaser commented:

“We are really pleased to have secured this off market investment which will provide Bassi Properties with an unbroken 10 year lease to the excellent covenant of Screwfix.  Thanks to Anthony for helping get this over the line given the uncertainty of the recent months.”

There are 3 more units remining  for sale or to rent on the estate, if you require further information please contact Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants on 0115 9507577 or email anthony@fhp.co.uk.

The lockdown period has affected any number of planned speculative industrial and distribution schemes throughout the Midlands, delaying the development of much needed stock.

However though, Clowes Developments’ Stoney Stanton Business Park which is to be built just off the M69 south-west of Leicester within moments of Hinckley, is proceeding now at pace as a full Reserved Matters Planning Application has been submitted to the Local Authority.

Agents for the scheme are Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP and Mike Allwood and Geoff Gibson of Andrew & Ashwell and they commented:-

“It is great to see the progress Clowes are making with this site.  The submission of their full Planning Application shows their intent to move forward swiftly on what is a location very much in need of additional industrial and distribution stock to buy and rent.

We applaud their efforts in progressing so quickly during the difficult lockdown period and if all goes according to plan our Clients hope to be onsite within the next couple of months.

This should then enable us to hand over finished buildings to new Buyers or Tenants from early Summer 2021 (subject to planning), which is fantastic news for a market which is starved of space.

Despite the general economic uncertainty, demand for smaller industrial and warehouse units both to buy and rent in the Leicestershire and East Midlands market has remained strong.  Indeed we have upwards of 30 companies already registered as being interested in the site.  We will be contacting these over the coming weeks to try and progress and agree deals off plan as we suspect that once construction of these buildings starts there will be a further raft of interest so it would be great if we can agree deals during the Planning Application process which should complete in the next couple of months.

The positioning of the scheme is great, just off the M69 and therefore within moments access of the A5, Hinckley and indeed the edge of Leicester plus the M1.  As this scheme offers buildings from as little as 2,500ft² to over 30,000ft², all available to buy or rent, this will fill a real gap in the market.

We look forward to unveiling full details in the near future once planning has been confirmed and our Clients are onsite and up and running”.

It is not often we have the chance to market well-proportioned warehouse or workshop space which is set on a very large site but a new instruction at Birchwood Way, Alfreton, just off the A38 and therefore within minutes of Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway is available on a new lease.

Better still, the building on the site is to be completely refurbished by our client which will enable us to offer excellently presented, well-proportioned two storey office and ancillary space interlinking with clear span storage, production or workshop accommodation.

The key advantage with this property is the large site upon which the building sits, partially surfaced, the entire site is fenced and gated and extends to over 1.1 acres.

To be marketed by the Derby and Nottingham offices of FHP, Tim Gilbertson commented:-

“Our clients are just about to embark on a full refurbishment of this building which we suspect should be well-received in the market with plenty of interest generated.

Whilst the unit itself is well-proportioned and will offer, once the refurbishment has been completed, good quality storage or production space, the key selling point with this building is the large site upon which the property sits.

So often we receive enquiries from occupiers wanting to rent units which sit on an oversized yard, and this is a very rare opportunity where we can actually meet those demands as the building is just under 9,000ft² and sits on a site of approximately 1.12 acres.

Not only that, but it also sits on a popular estate which has terrific links to the A38 and provides fast access to the M1 at Junction 28 and Derby to the south-west.

A new lease is available and we can arrange viewings now whilst the refurbishment works are ongoing.”

The unit has a gross internal area of 5,073ft² and provides a large clear span storage/production space with a full height roller shutter door, 3 phase power and good lighting throughout.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP comments:

“I am excited to be launching a freehold industrial unit to the market offering an excellently presented second-hand unit ready for immediate occupation.

I anticipate this unit to generate quick interest as it offers simple space in good condition with a large service yard in a desirable industrial location.”

Quality warehouse or production space in Alfreton and around the Junction 28, M1 market as a whole is always in demand and hopefully the latest opportunity brought to the market by FHP will be quickly snapped up by a local occupier.

3 Keys Road, Alfreton offers really good quality space of just under 25,000ft² with self contained secure yard and additional secure car park, all available to rent on a new lease immediately.

Being marketed by the Derby and Nottingham Offices of FHP, it is anticipated that this building will generate interest quickly as it offers simple space, in good order throughout, but to be improved still further by our Clients in the coming weeks to present immaculately.

It is not often detached space such as this with its own yard and additional car park becomes available and hopefully interest will be generated immediately.

With stock levels continuing to run low throughout the East Midlands, Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor at FHP Property Consultants are just bringing on to the market cost effective storage or potential production space in Sutton in Ashfield just off the A38 and therefore within quick access of Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway.

Set on its own securely fenced and gated site, the building offers simple two bay space in a good location.

Tim and Chris commented:-

“It’s good to have this space on the market as this size bracket has little or no stock in the region.  This is a very simple building set on its own secure site but in a good position.  It is ideal for anybody needing short or long term storage space, or indeed for production use, as our Clients are prepared to offer flexibility on length of lease.

Most importantly of all though is the cost effective rent, just over £3.50 per ft², which represents really good value for a building of this nature.

A new lease is immediately available and we would be delighted to speak with any potential Tenants or arrange to show them around”.

The new owners of The Lakeside Nottingham on Mansfield Road, which is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment to provide the highest specification of wedding, dining and bar venue, have taken an additional 5,122ft² industrial unit for the production of their new craft beers.  The new brewery site is due to open later this year with The Lakeside venue opening later this year as well.

Richard Berridge, the co-owner of The Lakeside, commented:-

“These new premises for our brewing operation complements our business model perfectly, we want to offer the community real local food, beer and a safe and enjoyable place to visit. The Lakeside will open at Christmas and will offer alongside your usual favourites its very own range of beers made locally by locals. It’s a very exciting time for us now that we have emerged from lockdown and look forward to seeing our guests very soon.”

Chris Proctor of FHP Property Consultants commented:-

“This letting will complement Richard’s plans at The Lakeside, and I very much look forward to having a pint of his new craft beer soon. 

 We are once again in a position where we have a lack of stock available around 5,000ft² in the industrial/warehousing market within Nottingham, and I would urge landlords and property owners to get in touch if they do have a property they are looking to sell or let.”

The commercial property market has undoubtfully been impacted by COVID-19 with a lot of businesses’ putting property requirements on hold or pulling out of deals.

Despite these testing times, at FHP Property Consultants, we have experienced an influx of deals in the sub 5,500ft² industrial and warehousing sector.  It is quite remarkable to have achieved 12 completed deals in this size range with a further 15 deals under offer and currently with solicitors (all since April 2020).

Why this demand is being received? We are experiencing new businesses being created and taking the opportunity of either furlough or redundancy as an opportunity to start a fresh.  Others are coming from backgrounds such as e-commerce, logistics and certain sectors of manufacturing which have seen an increase due to the results of COVID-19.  Other cases are using the quieter lockdown period to manage property size and also increase efficiency by moving to better buildings or locations.

Chris Proctor of FHP Property Consultants who brokered a number of these deals along with Tim Richardson, Mark Tomlinson & Tim Gilbertson commented: –

“I am actively seeking and speaking with property owners who either have empty units or those with tenants close to lease expiry as I believe we have a number of good quality small businesses seeking units currently.”

Production space with a major existing power supply is always hard to find, so we are delighted to make available (particularly as the opportunity can be purchased or rented) a substantial production / warehouse unit with high calibre offices on a site of over 2 acres at Linby / Hucknall just north of Nottingham.

The fact that the building can be bought or rented is an even bigger bonus and Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor at FHP who are marketing the opportunity are hopeful of disposing of the property quickly and they commented:-

“We so often hear from occupiers the need for a large power supply which is almost impossible to find but hopefully with this rare visitor to the market in Linby, just north of Nottingham, we might be able to satisfy some occupiers requirements.

This building is presented in terrific order throughout, it has been augmented by the addition of high calibre offices and the fact that it sits on such a large site of 2.25 acres offering scope, subject to planning, for extension of the existing building or external storage etc means that the high power supply and excellent building really should create interest from the word go.

It is a good location as well, quick access to Junctions 27 and 26 of the M1 Motorway and with such a large site, offering large car park, and the high calibre building it will hopefully create interest from the start of our marketing campaign”.

Nigel Brown of Pera Business Park commented:-

“We are very happy to have successfully filled the workshop. It’s another positive step for the business park and Melton Mowbray to attract a company like Waverly Carbon that wants space for an engineering research and development project.”

Daniel Turner of Waverly Carbon commented:-

“With its well lit space, overhead cranage, and substantial power provision the workshop on the Pera Business Park in Melton Mowbray ticks all our boxes.  With fantastic support from Pera’s helpful and friendly management team, we are very pleased with the location of our new production plant. We look forward to a long and fruitful association with Pera Business Park.

Waverly Carbon is a producer of sustainable material used in the rubber,  plastics and coatings industries.”

Chris Proctor of FHP Property Consultants who brokered the deal commented:-

“FHP were appointed by Nigel at Pera Business Park to find a single tenant for their large warehouse/workshop space, which had historically been a multi-let space with a high level of management required. After producing detailed marketing and working with Nigel for several months, we agreed a deal with Waverly Carbon who are an excellent fit for the building and highlights a major letting for Melton Mowbray and North Leicestershire.”

Following the sale of Unit B1 to Sunset VW, FHP Property Consultants are pleased to have brokered the letting of Unit B2 to national chain Screwfix.

Tim Richardson of FHP Property Consultants who negotiated the agreement commented:-

“This was an obvious spot for Screwfix to take their fourth store in Derby, being on the western side of the City Centre with easy access to the inner ring road and arterial routes in and out of the city. It is readily accessible from a large part of the city.”

The building extends to just over 5,000ft² and was taken on a new lease.

The remaining units range in size from 4,465ft² up to 7,750ft², or in combination to provide up to 17,992ft² with generous yard space within a landscaped managed environment.

The units are available either For Sale or To Let and further information can be obtained from the sole agents, FHP Property Consultants.

Over the last few months we have disposed of quite a lot of warehouse space on both short and long term leases, often driven by NHS requirements but also retailers who need storage for surplus stock and also online companies who have seen a boom in demand in recent times.

High bay storage space with dock and level access loading has therefore been in demand and so hopefully as we launch a property of just over 70,000ft² on the market at Worksop, just off the A1, timing could be good to encourage interest from the start of our campaign.

To be dealt with by Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor at FHP, Tim commented:-

“I have let this building before and it always seems to encourage interest, it is well set for the A1 and offers high bay space with over 11m eaves, all available for rent on a short or long term basis.

The unit really is ready to go now, it is one of the few in the region which is immediately available and we hope that interest will be good from the start of our campaign”. 

For further information or to discuss / arrange a viewing please contact either Chris Proctor or Tim Gilbertson at FHP on 0115 950 7577 or chris@fhp.co.uk / tim@fhp.co.uk.

Becoming available as a result of our Client’s expansion and relocation, Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor are pleased to bring to the market this terrific little warehouse and office building on Millennium Business Park, just north of Mansfield.

Good access to the centre of Mansfield.  Excellent access to the A38 and Junction 28 and 29 of the M1.  The building is presented immaculately.

At just under 7,000ft² there is very little competing stock of this size available and with the quality of accommodation on offer hopefully this unit will generate interest quickly.

For further information or to arrange a viewing please contact either Tim Gilbertson (07887 787 893 / tim@fhp.co.uk) or Chris Proctor (07747 464 770 / chris@fhp.co.uk) at FHP Property Consultants.

Acting on behalf of Muse Developments and Rolls-Royce, Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants has completed the letting of bespoke built storage and distribution space for RM Group at Harrier Park in Hucknall.  The deal concluded has seen the construction of a bespoke 200,000ft² state of the art warehouse for RM Group enabling them to consolidate their various existing spaces locally.

Harrier Park sits between Junctions 26 and 27 of the M1 motorway and offers 60 acres of superb development land available for occupiers to purchase or rent bespoke built storage or manufacturing space.

This is the first deal on the park and sees a major investment by joint venture partners, Muse Developments and Rolls-Royce, with their initiative being rewarded by this fantastic distribution deal which is a great starting point for the site.

Tim Gilbertson who dealt the deal, in conjunction with Joint Agents Knight Frank in Sheffield, commented:-

“What a great way to start this site.  The 200,000ft² new letting to RM Group enables them to put all of their existing facilities under one roof and from our client’s perspective is a wonderful way to announce Harrier Park in the region as one of the East Midland’s leading manufacturing and distribution locations.

With good access to both Junctions 26 and 27 of the M1, this 60 acre site still has plenty of land left and we are actively marketing opportunities there now for occupiers to buy or rent bespoke built space from as little as 30,000ft² upwards.

We wish RM Group well with their new base which they take possession of at the end of 2020 and with active discussions ongoing with other parties who are keen to relocate to the site, hopefully there will be further deals to announce on this scheme shortly.”

As a result of the forthcoming relocation of our Client, the current owner occupier of this fantastic unit on Heanor Gate Industrial Estate, we are pleased to provide a rare opportunity to buy substantial modern space with the key benefit of a large yard and expansion land.

The sale is being handled by Tim Gilbertson, Chris Proctor and Darran Severn of FHP and Tim Gilbertson commented:-

“I bought this unit for our Client some years ago and it has served him well.  It’s a credit to him as it has been maintained in an immaculate condition with fantastic ground floor offices and ancillary space, including canteen and board room, leading to large open span storage or production space beyond.

There is also a first floor which is currently used for storage but could equally be turned into additional office space.

The key benefit of the building though is the large site upon which it sits which is currently configured to provide a substantial yard but also has additional expansion land to the rear which would enable (subject to planning) expansion of the building and / or expansion of the car park and yard area.

A really good quality building.  Fully fitted throughout with heating and lighting in the warehouse and excellent offices and I hope that we receive interest immediately”.

For further information on the building or to discuss or view please contact either Tim Gilbertson (07887 787 893 / tim@fhp.co.uk), Chris Proctor (07747 464 770 / chris@fhp.co.uk) or Darran Severn (07917 460 031 / darran@fhp.co.uk).

It is really fulfilling to see the press releases confirming that Hermes are now opening at Panattoni Park, Nottingham and creating 100 jobs.

For us at FHP it is the culmination of more than 15 years’ work – when we first became involved in the site it was being reclaimed and filled by our Clients, BGL Landfill.

We worked with a number of Developers and finally Panattoni have delivered such an exciting scheme building 714,000ft² in a deal of regional and national significance.

We are continuing to work on a number of strategic new schemes throughout the region.

Contact one of the team to discuss any of your requirements, whether they be small or large.
