Pedigree Wholesale’s expansion unleashed with two sales and a relocation

Nottingham-based pet industry supplier Pedigree Wholesale has made two property moves to support its ongoing expansion, with guidance from FHP.

Pedigree Wholesale sold its site Harrisons Mill in Radcliffe on Trent – an early 1900s mill previously used for bird food production.

The site, which had become outdated and inefficient, was sold off-market to Synergy Healthcare, paving the way for a new care home facility.

Phil Daniels of FHP said: “This site of just over 1 acre on the edge of the affluent village of Radcliffe on Trent was ideal for the construction of a care home. We directly approached, off-market, developers and operators in this sector and attracted very significant interest. Following a competitive best bid process, we were able to secure a sale on an unconditional basis at more than the guide price.”

Ahead of the sale, FHP also assisted Pedigree Wholesale in relocating its pet food and product retail outlet,  which was also based at Harrisons Mill.

FHP secured an off-market freehold purchase on Bingham Road, ensuring the business could continue operating smoothly.

The store is now open under Pedigree Wholesale’s retail brand, Just for Pets, which has grown to 24 locations across the UK.

Jack Shakespeare of FHP said: “It was a pleasure to represent Pedigree Wholesale in this important relocation. Our expertise and tenacity allowed us to relocate the former store promptly which was integral to the sale of Harrisons Mill.”

Steve Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Pedigree Wholesale said: “It has been a pleasure to work with FHP on these important transactions which will be integral to the future expansion of our business.”

The company, founded in 1972, is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of pet food and products.
