Refurbished Bury site pre-let to expanding architectural ironmongery group

An 80,000 sq ft refurbished unit at Dumers Lane, in Bury, has been pre-let by Dwyer Property to UAP, the national distributor and manufacturer of architectural ironmongery.

The unit had been used as an 02 and Tesco Mobile call centre for a number of years, but was originally designed as a high bay warehouse.

A full and comprehensive refurbishment scheme has been carried out of the unit and UAP have taken a long term lease on the premises.

Giles Veitch, of Dwyer Property, said: “This is a property that we have had a long association with, having owned it previously when it was a call centre.

“We were given the opportunity to purchase the property again and jumped at the chance. We have created a high bay warehouse and are absolutely delighted to have pre-let it to UAP.”

Paul Nolan, of Nolan Redshaw who are sole agents on this property, said: “We originally let this property to Cellnet over 20 years ago and have monitored it over a number of years. I was personally delighted when Dwyer Group bought the property, as they had spotted the potential to reinvent it as a high bay warehouse, which is how it was originally designed and built.

“UAP are a Whitefield based business but have expanded significantly over the past five-years and have purchased businesses elsewhere throughout the UK. It is a great vote of confidence for the North Manchester market.”

David Jennings, UAP managing director, said: “This is a substantial expansion for the business and increases our distribution capabilities significantly. We are pleased with the specification of the refurbishment carried out by Dwyer Property and it is a significant step forward for the business.”
