Storage and distribution company snaps up 136,000 sq ft of industrial space

One of East Yorkshire’s biggest business sites is now home to a Hull company which imports products through the Humber Docks to be distributed to customers in West Yorkshire.

Humber Storage Solutions has signed up for Units 7 and 8 at Dianthus Business Park, in Newport.

It will see the business benefit from having 136,000 sq ft of industrial space, a short distance from Hull, Immingham and Goole Docks, and with immediate access to the A63 and onto the A1 and M62.

The deal to secure the property was handled by Hull-based commercial property specialists Garness Jones.

Senior surveyor, Chris Hyam, said: “This is a fantastic location for Humber Storage Solutions and will really aid their business activities as they store and distribute products imported through the Humber Docks, which are then transported down the motorway to a facility for a major international client in West Yorkshire.

“In terms of businesses operating in this kind of market, Dianthus Business Park is hard to beat for location, whilst also offering first-class facilities.”

The business park has been through significant expansion since it was first built as a home for JZ Flowers in 2010, with warehouses industrial units of varying sizes since added. There are now future plans for further development.  

Hyam added: “The client at Dianthus Business Park deserves praise for his vision and continued investment in this site.

“These are the kind of developments which help attract more high-quality businesses to invest in our region, and equally, ensure we can retain successful businesses as they grow and need bigger, modern facilities, as we have seen here with Humber Storage Solutions.”
