••• Spar suppliers open northern hub
     

A retail distribution company supplying more than 700 Spar shops across the UK is to open a northern depot near Leeds.

In a deal brokered by industrial property specialists Gent Visick, AF Blakemore & Son Ltd will take a 17-year lease at Unit 3, Premier Park, just off J30 of the M62 between Leeds and Normanton.

The company which started in Wolverhampton and has distribution facilities across the UK employs over 5,500 people with a turnover in excess of £700m per year.

The 80,074 sq ft warehouse will act as a base from which the company can deliver to stores across the region.


‘The acquisition of a northern depot for Blakemore Food Service has been on our agenda for some time and we were looking at a number of options when Gent Visick introduced this opportunity to us. The new depot will help us to better serve our existing customers and expand our business’, said Mark Titley estates manager for AF Blakemore.

Andrew Gent, for Gent Visick added ‘The letting of this unit to AF Blakemore underlines the strength of the M62 corridor market and is another example of the reduction in stock which is currently taking place across this sector.’

Joint agents on the letting were the Leeds office of King Sturge who also manage the property on behalf of USS Pension Fund.
