Trailer firm takes 22,000 sq ft in Liverpool

TIP Trailer Services has taken 22,000 sq ft at Simonswood, near Kirkby, to allow for the expansion of its business.
The firm has leased the MOT and vehicle testing facility from vehicle testing body VOSA.
TIP Trailer Services, which rents, sell and maintains trailers, currently has a base at North Liverpool Docks.
The firm’s European property leader, Paul Crosby said: “This site at Simonswood, near Kirkby is a TIP branch depot providing comprehensive trailer and vehicle maintenance services, ATF/MOT testing, shot blast facilities and paint booths for trailers and small vehicles. We have plans to operate as a full trailer rental site later this year.
Phil Morley, an associate director at DTZ who advised on the letting, said: “DTZ generated strong interest in the facility in recent months from a variety of companies who wanted to put the bespoke site to good use to suit their operations.
“Three companies in particular expressed strong interest and put forward serious offers due to the uniqueness of the facility which offers HGV testing bays, fitted offices and a substantial concrete hard standing area totalling three acres.”
