Haulage firm Turners (Soham) doubles space in Walsall

The family-owned business has purchased the remaining 4.51 acres at Middlemore Lane in Alridge to help cater for increased demand for its transportation services, with new jobs set to be created.

Middlemore Lane is in a prime location offering access to Aldridge and Walsall town centres, with junction 10 of the M6 just two miles away. The freehold site has dual access points onto the road and a storage compound. It also comes with planning permission for two units suitable for office and industrial use.

Kenny Allan (pictured on the right), Director of Industrial Agency at KWB secured the deal on behalf of longstanding client PSST LLP. It comes just days Kenny was appointed to sell a rare 10,000ft2 industrial unit on 1.72 acres just around the corner, on Middlemore Lane West.

“We have won several new storage and distribution clients recently, so we’re delighted to have acquired this much needed space at our existing Walsall base,” said Paul Day, Managing Director of Turners (Soham). “Middlemore Lane is in a strategic location offering us easy access to the M6 motorway network and there is an excellent local labour supply.”

Turners (Soham) operates more than 2,500 Trucks in UK & Europe and specialises in temperature- controlled transport and warehousing and container logistics for goods including food, fuel and building products.
