Logistics firm signs on for another decade at 195,000 sq ft business park units
Clipper Logistics has committed to a further ten years on a Selby business park, having renewed the lease for its existing two units totalling 195,000 sq ft.
The company, which provides logistics solutions and e-fulfilment to the retail sector, will continue to be based at Potter Space’s business park.
Clipper Logistics first began operating from this location when it took on an initial 165,000 sq ft building in 2009. This unit contains three large mezzanine floors and a sophisticated conveyor system, making it ideal for Clipper’s specialist logistics handling of garments and high value retail products.
Following expansion, the company moved into an additional 30,000 sq ft building, linked via a secured covered access route to its existing premises.
With the combined operational facilities Clipper has been able to create a multi-customer shared use facility, including a large-scale fashion returns operation.

Following the signing of the lease, Potter Space has agreed to construct additional staff car parking & bicycle facilities. In addition, Clipper is increasing the office accommodation and staff welfare facilities to accommodate the increased activities.
Speaking about the lease renewal, Managing Director of Potter Space Matthew Lamb said: “Clipper Logistics has been a valued customer of ours for the last ten years and it has been great to witness its growth over that period.
“We pride ourselves on working closely with all our customers. By doing so we can be alerted to their needs on site and endeavour to provide additional facilities and services to enable the business to become more successful.
“Clipper is a great example of this approach as it continues to grow its operation on site resulting in the company’s wish to remain with us for at least another ten years.”
Paxton Carroll, Operations Director from Clipper Logistics, added: “As well as building a great working relationship with Potter Space, the fact we have renewed the lease for a further ten years is not only because of Selby’s strategic location but because Potter Space is able to offer the space and flexibility to enable us to expand our operations further if required.”
