The acquisitions include the £3.8m purchase of a 125,000 sq ft site in Rotherham which is let to Green Forest Solutions until 2025.

Urban Logistics has also agreed a £17.3m sale and leaseback transaction for four properties with Kinaxia in Macclesfield, Telford, Royal Wootton Bassett and Yate.

In a third deal it has paid £6.7m for an 80,200 sq ft site in Leigh let to XPO.
