Knitwear manufacturer completes deal on 20,000 sq ft warehouse facility

A family-run manufacturer is set to make the move to a 20,000 sq ft unit on a South Yorkshire industrial estate.

Z Hinchliffe, which supplies yarn to the UK and worldwide knitwear industries, has signed a ten-year lease on a unit located in the Junction 38 Estate.

Situated five miles from Barnsley town centre and within walking distance of Darton Station, the 19,543 sq ft unit is a semi-detached warehouse with fitted offices and three ground level loading bays.

Acting on behalf of Summer Estate Holdings, property consultancy Commercial Property Partners LLP (CPP) secured the lease for the recently refurbished unit.

Helen Macrow of South Street Capital and acting for Summer Estates Holding, said: “The letting confirms our confidence in both the location and the building on offer. We will continue to look to improve our existing stock to benefit from the existing market conditions.”

Ed Norris, partner at CPP, added: “Summer Estate Holdings Ltd’s recent investment in carrying out a full refurbishment of Unit 3a meant that interest in the warehouse facility was extremely high.

“The premises now boasts a range of impressive and high quality features which, when coupled with the excellent security facilities offered at Junction 38 Industrial Estate, meant that we were well-placed to attract potential tenants and secure a long-term lease agreement very quickly.

“Such a quick turnaround is indicative not only of the demand in the market for quality industrial premises, but also the confidence that logistics and manufacturing businesses have when it comes to investing in the area.”

CPP acted as joint agents alongside Knight Frank. Tom Shelton at Fox Lloyd Jones represented Z Hinchliffe.
