Castlewood Business Park is one of the region’s foremost industrial and distribution locations, set at the intersection of the M1, J28 and the A38.

Developed wholly by CWC Group, over 1.5 million sq ft of production and distribution space has been built over the last few years.

To build on this fantastic location and track record, CWC Group are now embarking upon the speculative construction of a 72,000ft² unit to be marketed by Tim Gilbertson of FHP and Ranjit Gill of Savills.

Agent for CWC Group, Tim Gilbertson commented:

“What a fantastic building this will be!  Castlewood has seen huge success over the last few years, indeed our clients are currently constructing a 249,000ft² building for an expanding local occupier and to run with that and augment the park still further they are taking the wise step of speculatively building a prime 72,000ft² unit on the site which will be ready for occupation in Q2 2019.

Offered to buy or rent, this is great news for a market which remains short on stock and we hope that it will be snapped up quickly.  Myself and my fellow agent Ranjit Gill of Savills would be delighted to discuss in detail or meet potential occupiers on site who may want to take advantage of this terrific opportunity.”

James Richards of CWC Group commented:

“We also have now built out over 1.5 million sq ft of space at Castlewood and speculative construction of a unit on the site seemed the next logical step.

CWC72, our 72,000ft² warehouse should be well received and we hope will either let or sell quickly.

The location couldn’t be better and with the location comes an opportunity for occupiers to benefit from neighbours including the Cooperative Group, Bombardier, Alloga and many others.

We still have over 30 acres of land up for development on a design and build basis for bespoke properties that can be purchased or rented and our agents remain keen to speak to occupiers who may need space from as little as 15,000ft² upwards.

We are excited by this speculative development and are sure it will be well received in the market.”

For further information on the speculative development at Castlewood or indeed for any party who may require a bespoke built warehouse or industrial unit to buy or rent then please contact the agent Tim Gilbertson on 0115 9507577 / tim@fhp.co.uk

Conceived to provide manufacturing and distribution space at Junction 28 of the M1 Castlewood Business Park, wholly owned by CWC Group who are advised by agents Tim Gilbertson of FHP and Ranjit Gill of Savills, are proud to confirm the start of construction of the tenth building on the site as a deal has been struck with a local occupier to build a 249,500ft² distribution centre on the site.

This latest deal sees the space constructed at Castlewood exceed 1.5 million sq ft and once completed will take the total numbers employed on site to over 2,000.

James Richards, Development Director at CWC Group commented:

Adjoining the M1 at Junction 28 of the Motorway, with fantastic north/south links, we are delighted to construct a superb distribution hub on the site of 249,500ft².

This is another great result for ourselves and the efforts of our trusted team and displays again the strength of this location.

To compliment this deal we are also now intending to speculatively constructing a 72,000ft² warehouse or production building.  We will start on site imminently and this should be ready for occupation in Q2 2019 as we continue to receive enquiries for this location on a weekly basis.

The unit will be available to rent or purchase and as ever constructed to the best standards possible.

Our agents always remind me at this point to stress not only our speculative build project but also the fact that we still have over 30 acres of land left for besoke design and build construction where perfect property solutions can be provided on our site to buy or rent from as little as 15,000ft² up to 200,000ft².

Agents for CWC Group on Castlewood are Tim Gilbertson of FHP and Ranjit Gill of Savills.  Tim Gilbertson commented:

“It is great to see yet another building coming out of the ground for an occupier at Castlewood plus the speculative unit which will be ready in 2019.   Castlewood really is a great location and I am sure that the eventual buyer or tenant of our speculative building will augment those already in place on the business park which range from expanding local companies through to national household names.

This diverse range of occupiers is mirrored by an equally diverse range of uses on site, from traditional manufacture in the form of Parker Knoll through to high end engineering provided by the likes of Bombardier and Midlands Aerospace through to both local and national distribution businesses.  All are welcomed with open arms and I would be delighted to hear from companies large or small seeking to take advantage of the remaining land on site, or alternatively to discuss the speculative unit being constructed, to encourage further occupiers to this fantastic location in 2019.”

For further information on the scheme, the speculative unit under construction or to discuss how Castlewood could become your company’s new home please contact Tim Gilbertson on 0115 9507577 or tim@fhp.co.uk.

Opportunities to purchase good quality production or potential warehouse space in and around Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway have been virtually non-existent for the last few years, leaving any number of parties in the market frustrated.

Pleasingly Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP might be able to alleviate that frustration a little as they are just bringing to the market a superb warehouse at Brookside Way in Huthwaite, just a few moments from Junction 28 of the Motorway.

With the benefit of two yards, extensive parking and an additional secure compound this building should sell well and Tim Gilbertson commented:

“Freeholds anywhere in the East Midlands are so hard to find and at Junction 28 of the M1 it has been virtually impossible to find an appropriate building to buy for a number of years.

With our clients relocating, this building of just over 20,000ft² should provide a fantastic new home for any production or potential warehouse company looking to relocate and buy a building that is fully fitted, has large yards and car park and is set in a prime spot just off the M1.

With marketing just commencing, for any parties interested in viewing then it would be sensible to take a look at this sooner rather than later as it might be another 2 or 3 years before a similar building comes to the market!”

For further information or to arrange to view please contact Tim Gilbertson, Chris Proctor and Tim Richardson on 0115 9507577 or 01332 343222.

Modern workshop premises are very difficult to find at the moment particularly in such a good location”.

Sitting within minutes of Junction 21 of the M1 Motorway this warehouse occupies its own securely fenced and gated site with large yard and extensive car park.

Marketed by Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP, Tim commented:

“With the market now kicking into life after the end of the summer holidays it is great to make this opportunity available.  Leicester remains starved of good quality stock and we really think that this warehouse will be well received and go quickly given its fantastic location just off the M1 at Junction 21.

In addition it provides modern space with 8m eaves and its own self contained large yard and car park.  Our client’s expansion and relocation will hopefully enable another company to expand into their former premises and we would be delighted to show anybody who may be interested around in the near future as hopefully this building will create strong interest and be let quickly.

If you would like to view or discuss then please contact my colleague Chris or myself on either 0115 9507577 or tim@fhp.co.uk / chris@fhp.co.uk.

Commercial property specialists FHP Property Consultants have brokered a deal to enable a fast-growing delivery firm to create new jobs in Nottingham.

Direct Express Logistics have moved into a 25,000 sq ft unit on Little Tennis Street in Colwick in Nottingham in a deal jointly delivered by Mark Tomlinson of FHP and Sunny Landa of NG on behalf of a private pension fund.

Direct Express Logistics began as a Sameday delivery service in 1997 with one vehicle and a simple vision.  Over time the company has expanded organically and through acquisition and now has three sites strategically located in Doncaster, Nottingham and Stockport.

Gavin Taylor, Commercial Director of Direct Express said:

“This is a part of strategy to expanded our offering to our customers. We are now agents for TPN (The Pallet Network) thanks to this relocation and this has created 15-20 extra jobs with a further new positions planned over the next 12 months.  We are also using local suppliers and the local Renault dealer has supplied a brand new fleet for our current expansion.”

Mark Tomlinson of FHP said:

“It is encouraging to see yet another occupier seeking to expand their operations within the city despite the stories of doom and gloom we seem to hear on an increasingly regular basis.

“Direct Express Logistics have bases in Yorkshire and the North West and Nottingham sits well for them strategically to serve the Midlands. I’m delighted that we could provide the property to meet their expansion requirements given the low supply of industrial property in the wider market.”

The property is located on Little Tennis Street South and benefits from easy access to Nottingham’s ring road with convenient access to the A453 and A610 which lead to Junctions 24 & 25 of the M1 Motorway.

Chris Proctor and Tim Gilbertson of FHP are delighted to bring to the market a 6,297ft² industrial space on a 1.4 fenced and gated site.

The property is situated off Thorpe Road, Melton Mowbray with access to the A607 towards either the A46 or A1 main arterial roads.  The industrial unit presents clear span space with electric roller shutter door access and ancillary office and storage space to the front of the property.

Chris Proctor commented:

“This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase, a rarity in the current market.  To have such a large external space presents an opportunity for occupiers with the need for external storage or vehicle storage space or the property presents a development angle for additional units to be built on the site (subject to planning consent). I very much look forward to discussing the opportunity with interested parties.”

For further information on this deal or to see how FHP can help sell or let your industrial or warehouse space please contact Chris Proctor or Tim Gilbertson on 0115 950577 or chris@fhp.co.uk / tim@fhp.co.uk.

The existing building already provides a £16,000 return from the current occupiers who have been in occupation since 2011 and terms have been agreed for an extension to July 2019, the lease being excluded from the security of tenure of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

The development land is let on a short-term tenancy agreement and can be brought separately with vacant possession, a pack of information for the consented industrial scheme is available from the agents.

Acting on behalf of Daher Aerospace, FHP Property Consultants have acquired one of the largest warehouses in the region.  Situated off Junction 34 of the A1(M) at Harworth, south of Doncaster, the building extends to over 310,000ft² of high bay warehouse space, including racking and full sprinkler system.

The property was acquired on behalf of Daher Aerospace, renowned experts in industrial integrated logistics, flow line handling equipment, engineering and industrial packing with their UK headquarters in Derby.  The business is represented in 11 countries with a global revenue of €1.2 billion, specialising in aerospace and advanced technologies.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:

“I am delighted that we have been able to work alongside Daher in the acquisition of this property which needed only a little adaptation for their use.  Having worked with Daher for a number of years it is always satisfying to see the business grow and adapt.  There is an ongoing shortage of large distribution warehouses in the region and we needed to acquire a good quality second hand building of around 300,000ft² fully sprinklered and on appropriate lease and rental terms.

here is an unprecedented take up of warehouse space in the “big shed” market at the moment, with significant activity by retailers both online and food sector.  There has been a particular resurgence in 2018 and with so few existing buildings available, occupiers are having to look at new build, either build to suit or those being speculatively developed”.

Alongside FHP Freeths advised on the legal aspect and CS2 on the building elements.

The warehouse was acquired by way of a sublease, with CPP representing the landlord.

For further information please contact Tim Richardson on 1332 343 222 or email timr@fhp.co.uk.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“The overall condition of the unit is superb and the unit presents immaculately, this really is as good as it gets when it comes to an industrial unit!  Modern, well presented and fully fitted out in close proximity to major transport links with ample car parking provisions which, in my opinion, really demonstrates the excellence of this unit.  I very much look forward to discussing this instruction with potential commercial operators.”

Occupiers almost always want in industrial or warehouse units good quality fitted space, appropriately proportioned office and ancillary accommodation, easy access, a secure site and good levels of car parking.  Pleasingly Unit B, Salcombe Court at Alfreton, which Tim Gilbertson of FHP has just been instructed to market meets all these criteria and is available on a new lease.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“This building should tick the box for any number of potential occupiers for either industrial or distribution purposes.

It sits in a shared securely fenced and gated courtyard with just a handful of other occupiers, offers easy delivery access, has excellent allocated car parking to the rear and should fill a hole in a market still short on space.

Two storey offices interlink with potential production or storage space, deliveries are easily accommodated through two full height doors and the location is excellent, with minutes of the A368 and Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway.

Hopefully we will encourage strong interest quickly and if anyone wants to view now then please speak to either my colleague Chris Proctor or myself.

Our client vacates shortly, we are anticipating being able to offer occupation in January next year but would be delighted to show people round the building now with the anticipation of agreeing a deal within a matter of weeks.”

To be marketed by Chris Proctor and Tim Gilbertson at FHP, Chris commented:

“What a great site and opportunity we have here.  Our clients have already started work on site on two bespoke units for expanding local occupiers who are each buying substantial warehouse/production space.  On the back of these though our clients are taking the sensible step and speculatively constructing a range of units from as little as 1,300ft², all of which will be available to purchase or rent.  We have a vast range of sizes available, the largest being just under 40,000ft² which we can offer, with all units available to rent or purchase.

Costs are competitive, our clients are building to a shell finish but can offer additional fit out if required and we anticipate the first phase of speculative development will be complete by early 2019.

With marketing literally only just starting, we have already had two or three very serious enquiries which we are progressing and with site signage going up shortly and marketing starting in full, hopefully we will receive further interest in the very near future.

Given the lack of stock in the market place, and in particular the fact that our clients are happy to sell as well as rent the units to be constructed I would be delighted to hear from any parties potentially interested in taking space at this great scheme.”

We were so pleased with the professional and knowledgeable service we received whilst selling our Industrial Unit through FHP.

Thomas gave us excellent advice and guidance through the whole process, dealing with the buyers in a courteous but firm manner that achieved a very successful outcome.

FHP Property Consultants, acting on behalf of private clients are delighted to announce the sale of the ML Automotive Unit, Griffon Road on Quarryhill Industrial Estate, Ilkeston.

Amid stiff competition, the property has been secured by KB Packaging Ltd, a well-established packaging business currently located across the road on Merlin Way. The company had been in the market for another warehouse to facilitate their expansion plans and this opportunity being in such close proximity was too good to turn down.

Built to a similar high specification as their current premises, the unit extends to over 4,500 sq ft and provides good quality warehousing/production space with ancillary offices with permanent mezzanine above.

Thomas Szymkiw, of FHP’s Industrial Department who brokered the deal commented;

“In a market starved of good quality freehold options I am pleased to have secured a sale price for the property which has both exceeded the asking price and my client’s expectations. Such was the level of interest in the unit, we were inundated with offers so I am very pleased that KB have managed to secure a unit located so close to their current operation.

This deal, further highlights the rise in capital values on the estate also demonstrates the demand out there for good quality units in the sub 10,000 sq ft bracket. I would therefore be delighted to assist any other parties looking to sell or let their property in the Ilkeston area”.

The vendor also commented;

“I just wanted to say how pleased we were with the professional and knowledgeable service we received whilst selling our industrial unit through FHP. Thomas gave us excellent advice and guidance through the whole process, dealing with the buyers in a courteous but firm manner that achieved a very successful outcome”.

For further information on this sale, or to discuss your property requirements in further detail please do not hesitate to contact Thomas Szymkiw on 0115 950 7577 or alternatively, thomas@fhp.co.uk.

At a time when there is so little warehouse or production space available in and around Nottingham, Tim Gilbertson of FHP is pleased to bring to the market a high calibre unit on one of the best estates in Nottingham. 

Offering storage or production space the unit extends to approximately 1,497m² (16,113ft²).

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“I am delighted to put this property on the market for long term clients at a time when opportunities are so limited throughout the region.

This is a great building, offering clear span production or warehouse space with two storey offices all of which will be fully refurbished following vacation by the current occupier in the near future.

Perhaps key to this building though is the large yard plus additional secure compound that is on offer offering great scope for external storage, vehicle parking etc.

We also have the ability for any party showing an interest in the early stages to potentially configure refurbishment plans around their needs and as a result I look forward to showing possible tenants around the property in the very near future.”
