BJS Distribution, the specialist two-man delivery service which counts the Cotswold Company and designer furniture brand Made amongst its customer base, has expanded to a second site in Wednesbury to support the continued growth of the business. Legal advice was provided by Wolverhampton-based Charan Thiara of FBC Manby Bowdler’s Commercial Property team.
Established in 2009, and originally based in Walsall, BJS has enjoyed growth throughout the last seven years and in 2013 moved to larger premises in Wednesbury. However, high volumes and increased demand from clients meant that by last year they required additional space and so the search for a new facility began.
Initially open to either a brand new site to house the whole business or an additional facility nearby to its existing base, the BJS team opted for a second base as Tony Pearson, Sales Director at BJS Distribution, explains:
“Once it became clear that we were rapidly outgrowing our base in Wednesbury, we had a choice between finding a totally new home for the business or expanding in to a second site.
“However, having viewed several options we decided the one that best met our needs was a second facility nearby to our existing base in Wednesbury so we opted to take a unit on the Red Mill Estate.
“We have worked with Charan and the team at FBC Manby Bowdler since 2013 and feel reassured that they provide us with the support necessary to make our continued growth as smooth as possible. They have a good understanding of our needs and not only keep us fully informed every step of the way, but are also constantly mindful of the timeframes in which we need to operate.”
Charan adds: “The team at BJS has enjoyed a sustained growth trajectory and have their sights firmly set on further growth both here in the Midlands as well as in the South of the UK.
“It is a pleasure to work as part of their team as they seek to identify new premises for their expanding business and I look forward to seeing them continue to be successful.”
