•• More Power For Leeds Manufacturing Base
     

An impossible brief, a determined agent and a satisfied client – exceeding expectations is all in a day’s work for Gent Visick.

Successful engineering companies seeking to expand production often have to contemplate the logistical nightmare of relocation to new premises. On the back of a string of major UK and export contracts, Stanningley-based Winder Power faced just such a scenario, until they contacted industrial property specialists, Gent Visick.

Working closely with Winder Power, Gent Visick used their market knowledge to identify an ideal site within half a mile of Winder’s existing premises – the Axa owned 80,000 sq ft Grangefield House, where the existing occupier was in financial difficulties. Moving swiftly, they negotiated a new lease on the premises on behalf of Winder Power, before the building could even be brought to the open market.

Andrew Gent commented: “We were appointed by Winder Power to fulfil a difficult brief – locate a factory unit, circa 60,000 sq ft with 12-metres headroom for 60-tonne craneage, within a five-mile radius of Pudsey – the type of building that has all but disappeared. Our solution ensured that Winder power could relocate without losing any members of a highly skilled and loyal workforce – an important retention of manufacturing excellence in the city.”

Richard Asquith, Chairman of Winder Power, added: “We were delighted with our decision to appoint Gent Visick to identify and negotiate the acquisition of our new premises.

Gent Visick introduced a number of opportunities to us over a 12 month period and we were impressed with their enthusiasm, perseverance and in depth knowledge of the industrial property market.

They provided us with excellent advice throughout the negotiations and played a pivotal part in the legal process prior to completion.

Through the acquisition of these premises Winder Power are now on track to become market leaders in our chosen sectors, the design and manufacture of transformers and generating equipment to the electrical power supply industry, without having to worry about continuity of employees and any of the upheaval associated with having to relocate outside of the immediate area.

Given a challenging brief, Gent Visick delivered.”
