SEGRO plc (“SEGRO”) has welcomed a new customer to its Slough Trading Estate, the largest industrial estate under single ownership in Europe.
PWS Distributors Limited – a market leader in the design and supply of quality kitchen components – has signed a 20 year lease for a 13,544 sq.ft. unit. They join Pantos Logistics at the 70,000 sq. ft. three unit Buckingham Avenue development completed earlier this year under the Simplified Planning Zone agreement. There is now only one available unit left in the development which is attracting strong interest from companies wanting to base themselves on the Trading Estate.
Paul Lewis, SEGRO’s Regional Director for the Thames Valley, said:
“We’re pleased to welcome PWS to the SEGRO community. This speculative development on the Slough Trading Estate is a great example of how the Simplified Planning Zone status provides us with the ability to respond quickly to the needs of our customers and accelerate the delivery of new development.”
Kevin Gay, Operations Director of PWS said:
“SEGRO have offered us an exemplary service and we are pleased to have found the best possible accommodation for our growing business. Slough Trading Estate offers us the perfect location, with the first-class transport connections that we need to service our customers throughout the UK.”
Slough Trading Estate is currently undergoing a programme of redevelopment to maintain its status as a world-class business destination. The Estate continues to attract new business with 240,000 sq ft of new development completed last year, including new facilities for Fedex and Sovrin Plastics. To help meet continued demand, the Estate has 230,000 sq ft of speculative development due for completion over the next 18 months.
