GBR Phoenix Beard’s industrial agency team has completed three transactions at sites across the West Midlands. The deals, with a combined floor space of 13,342 sq ft, are debut successes for the team’s newest graduate surveyor, Joe Shorney, who joined the firm in October 2013 from John Shepherd.
The deals include a long leasehold of 5,566 sq ft at Centenary House in Hockley to a community church organisation known as the International Christian Assembly; a three year lease of two units at Berry Business Park, West Bromwich, to a Midlands based pest control organisation; and the disposal of a 2,150 sq ft building on behalf of Birmingham Properties Group at Great Western Business Park, Hockley, to engineering consultancy MMIC EOD.
Steve Kennon of MMIC EOD commented:
“Joe was instrumental in providing us with a new temporary property within a very tight timescale. This new location will provide us with the space we need to meet an increase in demand.”
Joe Shorney added:
“I have joined the firm at a time when conditions in the property market are showing a marked improvement. These three deals are typical of the movement in the industrial sector and all were concluded in a relatively short timeframe.”
