EAST MIDLANDS WAREHOUSE LEASED TO CUSTOMISED PACKAGING SPECIALIST

Commercial agents at Harris Lamb have let an East Midlands warehouse in quick time to a packaging manufacture and distribution firm.

The 68,689 sq ft building on Clover Nook Road, located within the established Cotes Park Industrial Estate in Alfreton has been let to George Utz Limited, Trading as the UTZ Group.

The business, which produces customised plastic packaging for logistics and storage within the automotive, pharmaceutical and electronics industries, was attracted to the building due to its proximity to its existing Clover Nook premises and a need for an additional storage facility.

Matthew Tilt of Harris Lamb’s Commercial Agency team, who oversaw the letting, said: “Acting for a private Landlord client it has been a pleasure working with George Utz as they moved quickly to secure the building.

“With two-storey offices, two service yards, eight-metre internal height to the haunch, and 79 parking spaces, the detached building was in good demand especially given its location being just two miles from Junction 28 of the M1,” he added.

Russell Evans, General Manager of George Utz Ltd, explained that “as a growing business in the returnable transport packaging market we have outgrown our current operational footprint. This building located within a few minutes of our main UK production site offers greater flexibility and the opportunity to take control of all our warehousing services in the UK.”

He added: “We found Harris Lamb to be a great agent to work with to secure the right deal for the coming years on this site.”
