SHED SHIFT SPARKS FIRM’S EXPANSION

16th December 2009

10,200 Sq Ft Let at Charwell Drive, Wigston, Leicester,

Fast turnaround on the letting of a modern industrial warehouse in Wigston means satisfied clients for Leicester commercial property specialist Andrew and Ashwell.

Having been empty for five months the 10,200 sq ft warehouse, in Chartwell Drive, was remarketed through Andrew and Ashwell, who signed up a new occupant in a matter of weeks.

Neal Kotak for warehouse landlord the Bowbridge Group said:

“After marketing the property with another commercial property agency with no real interest, we instructed Andrew and Ashwell to market the property. They generated two interested parties within three weeks, one of which has subsequently taken occupation on a six-year lease. It was a quick turnaround that has resulted in an effective conclusion.”
The new occupant, S and P Coil, is a UK-based specialist manufacturer and supplier of heating coils, heat pipes, radiant panels, heating and cooling equipment to the public and private sector in the UK, with a growing business in the Middle East and India for dehumidification products.
The warehouse building will be used in the manufacture of radiant panels and offers greater opportunity for expansion from the firm’s previous premises in Lewisher Road.

Neil Hudson, S and P Coil office manager said: "We have been able to find the right modern warehouse premises for our business in the manufacture of radiant panels and this will aid us in expansion.

"The move has been very satisfactory and we were able to find our new home easily, thanks to efficient service by Andrew and Ashwell."

Malcolm Grayson, Managing Partner at Andrew and Ashwell added: “Andrew and Ashwell has been established in the property industry for over 140 years, so it is not surprising we have good contacts to help clients to find what they need.

“Our large client database enables us to target applicants and occupiers alike and maintain a finger on the pulse of attractive market opportunities.”
