Industrial unit proves the right fit for entrepreneur businessman

A Little Eaton Industrial Unit has new owners following a popular marketing campaign.

The c. 10,000 sq.ft. industrial unit on Duffield Road Industrial Estate in Little Eaton was home to Amanda Strong’s printing business for a number of years.

Salloway Property Consultants were appointed by Amanda to assist with selling the property with vacant possession. The premises, which comprised of two adjoining industrial units with associated two storey offices, had been adapted to suit Amanda’s use but provided suitable accommodation for a wide variety of occupiers.

“I am delighted that the sale has now completed.” reports William Speed of Salloway. “Knowing that Amanda used to operate her business from the building, it felt right to sell the property on to an occupier who will carry on utilising the space for their own business uses.”

“Despite a high number of enquiries when the property came onto the market, it wasn’t a quick or straightforward process, but it’s great to reach a satisfying conclusion for Amanda and it’s great to see her get on so well with the new property owner, Chris”

Chris Massey, the new owner, is thrilled with the purchase and is looking forward to getting settled into the premises. Chris said “We had been looking for the perfect property for some time, with a preference not to be in Derby itself. The property at The Sidings provides us with the perfect opportunity to grow our business from and I have real belief that can happen knowing Amanda built such a successful business from the same property.”

Amanda Strong, the previous owner, was happy to see the property go to such an enthusiastic owner. Amanda said, “I’m delighted Salloway secured such an enthusiastic and pro-active purchaser, their service throughout was outstanding.”

Speed concluded, “There is still an acute shortage of small to medium sized industrial units on the market both freehold and leasehold in Derby and the surrounding area. We would be delighted to hear from anyone considering selling or letting similar sites.”
