Acting on behalf of their clients Frank Marshall Estates, DTZ has secured Excel Automotive Group’s move to New Court in Normanton.
Excel Automotive Group has taken circa 14,000 sq ft of industrial space on a ten and a half year lease at the recently refurbished New Court and relocated from its existing 8,000 sq ft unit within the Normanton Business Park.
The company provides specialist automotive components to the industry and has recently been purchased by Martin Butterworth and Adrian Lamb, following incorporation in 2003 and successful trading for well over a decade. The company are only one of two suppliers of Brembo Racing Brakes in the UK.
The move will mean that the company is located within a prime industrial location with key prominent frontage on to Mildred Sylvester Way.
DTZ acted alongside joint agents, Dove Haigh Phillips on behalf of Frank Marshall Estates to secure the ten and a half year lease. Following the letting of units 2 – 4, circa 22,000 sq ft remains at the industrial estate.
Scott Morrison, Senior Surveyor in the Yorkshire Industrial and Logistics team at DTZ, comments: “At a time when levels of supply for good refurbished space are low, New Court provides fantastic space in a prime industrial location within Normanton. Recently refurbished, the presentation and quality of the unit together with excellent access to the national motorway network provided the perfect fit for Excel to make a long term commitment in Normanton and continue to organically expand their business. We are delighted to land such a dynamic business which has such clear growth aspirations for the coming years.”
Mike Haigh, Partner at Dove Haigh Phillips comments: “This is an excellent letting for Frank Marshall Estates which now only leaves 21,990 sq ft of space available, again refurbished to a high standard having the benefit of excellent parking and yard provisions, as well as a 600 KVA power supply.”
Martin Butterworth, Managing Director of Excel Automotive Group added: “With great support from DTZ and Frank Marshall Estates, we’ve managed to execute our full move in weeks as opposed to months. We now have the space we need to move forward and have created a great working environment. The offices which were built to our specification are modern and light creating a positive place for both employees and our clients.
Generally these processes can be fraught with stress, delays and problems but I can honestly say through the support of all concerned and a lot of hard work we have achieved our goals ahead of schedule and did not lose a day of trading.”
