Black Country deal for London wholesaler completes

Property agents Siddall Jones have notched up another April lockdown deal, attracting a London company to the Black Country.

Tech and Trade, an importing and exporting wholesaler of electrical goods and foodstuffs, has taken Albion Works, a 28,000 sq ft industrial unit in Moor Street, Brierley Hill, on a rental of £94,000 a year.

The London-based business is now importing hand sanitizer for the UK market and needed centrally-located premises urgently.

Ed Siddall-Jones said: “We acquired the estate for landlord Wilson Property last year, and we have since worked with the landlord to improve the layout and appearance of the estate.

“This deal represents a large letting for the Black Country and provides confidence and comfort that companies are still willing to commit to large premises in these unprecedented times.

“With the lack of industrial supply in Birmingham and the Black Country, we expect this trend to continue despite the economic outlook, and we are still active seeking industrial property for retained clients.”
