As a result of FHP’s client’s relocation, they were tasked with disposing of just under 80,000 sq ft of good quality second-hand space on Long Eaton Industrial Estate in Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, just off the M1 motorway at Junction 25.
Tim Gilbertson, who dealt with the disposal, is pleased to confirm the successful sublease of the premises to expanding local furniture company Andrew Paul Furniture. Tim commented:
“It has been a pleasure seeing this deal complete, making our clients happy in disposing of the premises, but also it is great to help a successful Long Eaton based company, Andrew Paul Furniture, to expand further. Their growth has been remarkable over the last few years and I am sure this new facility will help them still further.
From my perspective, Andrew Paul were terrific to deal with but also very sensible in their approach, jumping on this opportunity as soon as it came to market given the paucity of space available throughout the region, particularly in terms of large scale production and distribution facilities.
I wish them well in their additional home and hope their business continues to grow and go from strength to strength.”
Andrew Cooke and Paul Bradbery of Andrew Paul Furniture commented:
“Due to our ever increasing order book and expanding client base, we were in desperate need of additional manufacturing space. We were thrilled to learn of an 80,000 sq ft unit that had become available close to our other four sites in Long Eaton.
Tim Gilbertson of FHP was immediately contacted to make him aware of our interest in the property. Tim wasted no time in relaying our intent to his clients and the wheels were put in motion very quickly. The process was challenging for both parties to get the deal over the line quickly and smoothly, but we would like to thank Tim and his clients for their efforts, especially Tim, who was instrumental throughout and played a big part in the success of the deal.
The new premises will mean more employment for the local area and bring the APF portfolio of production units in Long Eaton over five sites to 155,000 sq ft. It will also play a fundamental role in meeting demand, allowing greater flexibility for future growth and progress APF expansion plans.
The team at APF are flattered by the increasing reputation we have secured, which is now paying dividends and a just reward for our team’s hard work and efforts over the past few years to carry out our targets. Our success would not be possible without having the right manufacturing units, so thank you again Tim and all involved in its completion.”
