Property agents secure tenant for off-market industrial unit

Property agents Rushton Hickman have successfully let an off-market industrial premises, located along a key arterial route in Burton upon Trent. 

This transaction was driven by the knowledge that Russell Roof Tiles, a leading independent manufacturer of concrete roof tiles, was seeking additional space to support their expansion plans.

The property, a detached 3,418 sq. ft Industrial unit situated on Wetmore Lane, has been leased to Russell Roof Tiles as their new training and innovation hub.

The facility will serve as a dedicated site for research and development, enabling the company to advance its product innovation and technical solutions - an essential element of their ongoing success.

Daniel Hancox, director of Russell Roof Tiles, said, “We are delighted to have secured our new premises on Wetmore Lane.

“Working with Rushton Hickman was a seamless experience thanks to their professionalism and support throughout the process.

“Special thanks to Taylor for his hard work and efforts in keeping us well-informed. We are excited to begin this new chapter of growth and innovation.”

Taylor Millington, the agent responsible for the deal on behalf of his client, said: “This off-market letting demonstrates how a deep understanding of the local market and tenant requirements can facilitate hassle-free negotiations, enabling quick and efficient lease agreements.

“I wish Russell Roof Tiles every success in their new premises!”

Their client, Steel Fabrications Ltd, expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, saying: “We’re thrilled with how this letting, facilitated by Taylor at Rushton Hickman, has resulted in securing a strong tenant and we look forward to working with Russell Roof Tiles moving forward.”

Taylor concluded: “There remains a shortage of quality industrial units with accessible yard space around the East Midlands and we would be happy to discuss similar opportunities with interested parties.”

The landlord was represented by Taylor Millington at Rushton Hickman, working alongside Helen McGrath of Astle Patterson, while the new tenant was advised and represented by Amjad Sheikh of Geralds LLP.
