Howdens joins the Trade Yard
The joinery giant has taken the first letting at the industrial site in Barton-upon-Humber, moving into a 9,000 sq ft unit.
Located at Falkland Way in Barton, the remaining four units offer 3,400 sq ft each and are also capable of interconnecting to offer up to 13,600 sq ft of space.
Allenby Commercial, the Hull-based developer that owns the site, is starting work on its second location, the Trade Yard Immingham, early this year.
The Immingham site has permission for six units, ranging from 2,750 to 13,00 sq ft and will again be aimed at the trade counter sector locally and nationally.
Charlie Allenby, business development director at Allenby, said: “The Trade Yard sites at Beverley, Scunthorpe, and Willerby are all full and the success of those gave us the confidence to develop the site in Barton and to move forward at Immingham.
“It is clear that the demand is there for The Trade Yard concept, which is tailored to meet the needs of the trade counter sector and which has attracted many national brands as well as some local businesses.
“Typically, The Trade Yard tenants are creating as many as ten jobs with every move and our commitment is to continue
investing to help them start trading and grow.”
Jordan Stokes, surveyor at PPH Commercial Chartered Surveyors and Commercial Property Consultants, said: “The Trade Yard Barton is an exceptionally high standard development with modern fully insulated cladding and solar panels, and Allenby Commercial has planted more than 2,000 shrubs and trees on the site.”
Howdens now has more than 800 depots across the UK and Europe. A spokesperson for the company said: “We have been looking for the right location in Barton-Upon-Humber for a few years now and we are very pleased to be open at Falkland Way as part of our national expansion programme.”
