The new building offers an 8,737 sq ft warehouse and more than 4,700 sq ft of high-quality office space, as well as a large loading area and parking area.<\/p>\n<p>John Green, managing director at CBS, explained: \u201cThe positive feedback we receive from our customers and our ability to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the market forms the foundations of our success, but we are not a company to rest on our laurels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new building brings our expanding products, IT services and logistics teams together under one roof and gives us the space to develop a staff training area and customer showroom, in a modern open plan environment, which is vital for team spirit and effective communication.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis puts us in a strong position to fulfil a long-term goal to expand and take on new challenges from a highly accessible location where we can put down firm roots, which will all further enhance the level of service our customers enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The unit was marketed by Leeds based property consultancy, GV&amp;Co, on behalf of Yorkshire based Chequers Transport Services, which owns the building.<\/p>\n<p>Will Woodhall, from GV&amp;Co, added: \u201cThis building offers a perfect balance of modern warehouse space and versatile office accommodation in a sought-after location, within a mile of both Bradford\u2019s ring road and the Leeds outer ring road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s also a lot of demand locally for buildings between 10,000 sq ft and 20,000 sq ft, which is a sweet spot for a lot of growing businesses because it\u2019s the next step up, so we were able to generate plenty of interest in it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, it was immediately apparent that CBS, which is both a well-established and expanding business, was an ideal tenant. There\u2019s no doubt this building will be the perfect base as the company embarks on its next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commerce Business Systems
