Global food testing company snaps up prime industrial space
Food testing company FDL has taken a 77,000ft² prime logistics facility in Stafford, West Midlands.
The company has agreed to a 15-year lease of Unit 1 of the site, located 1 mile from Junction 14 of the M6 motorway which provides connections to Manchester, the north, as well as Birmingham, and the M6 Toll to the south.
Unit 2, which consists of 66,000ft² is still available with Savills and Harris Lamb acting as joint agents. Both units have a steel portal frame construction with profile clad elevations and insulated profile clad roofs and the Ergo Real Estate says they are completed to a ‘sustainable’ specification, targeting an EPC Rating of A and BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating.
The site is located on Shackleton Way, in an established distribution location 1.5 miles north of Stafford town centre. The Stoke and Stafford market hosts a range of companies which have built strong bases in the area, benefitting from a workforce of 151,000 people in the locale which is set to increase due to a number of planned new build residential developments.
Sustainability was the recent hot topic at Logistics Manager’s ESG Industrial & Logistics Conference where we announced some exciting new initiatives within the company on the property side.
