Freight firm signs up to 17,000 sq ft unit

A 17,000 sq ft of industrial warehouse unit at Marchington Industrial Estate in Uttoxeter has been let to a freight company.

The newly constructed units were originally due to provide three self-contained units but the agent on the scheme said interest was so strong that a deal was agreed with Staffordshire-based third party logistics provider Freight Management European for all three units together.

Senior agency surveyor at Rushton Hickman, Doug Harvey, said: “After a great deal of interest in the property it has been great to welcome Freight Management European as a new tenant at Marchington and contribute towards the continued success of the estate.”

Rushton Hickman director Graham Bancroft added “The market for high quality newly constructed industrial/warehouse buildings continues to go from strength to strength.  The location of the Marchinton Industrial Estate makes it perfect for the logistics industry with the site being so close to the A50 and the motorway networks and so we were able to agree terms prior to practical completion of the buildings.”
