Mike Hyde (Turners Soham) and Kenny Allan (KWB)

Haulage firm Turners (Soham) has purchased the remaining 4.51 acres on a site in Aldridge which will double its industrial space.

The family-owned business has purchased a site at Middlemore Lane to expand operations to cater to the increase in demand.

It operates 2500 trucks across the UK and Europe and specialises in temperature-controlled transport and warehousing and container logistics for goods including food, fuel and building products.

The freehold site also comes with planning permission for two units suitable for office and industrial use.

Paul Day, Managing Director of Turners (Soham) Ltd said: “We have won several new storage and distribution clients recently, so we’re delighted to have acquired this much needed space at our existing Walsall base.

“Middlemore Lane is in a strategic location offering us easy access to the M6 motorway network and there is an excellent local labour supply.”

Kenny Allan, Director of Industrial Agency at KWB secured the deal on behalf of PSST LLP. Allan has also been appointed to sell a 10,000 sq ft industrial unit on 1.72 acres just around the corner, on Middlemore Lane West.

Allan said: “It was a pleasure to deal with Turners (Soham) Ltd on behalf of my client PSST and I look forward to seeing their business thrive further in the Midlands.

“The fact that I am advising on two major industrial schemes around the corner from each other demonstrates a booming market, which has been sparked by a surge in online deliveries following the pandemic and a shortage of space.”
