Online garden superstore, Garden Centre Online, has taken 34,056
sq ft of warehouse/distribution space at Highcross' Old Dalby
Business Park, near Melton Mowbray.
The company, which retails and distributes more than 5,000
garden products, previously occupied an 8,722 sq ft unit at the
Park.
Highcross has let Units 2 A&B to Garden Centre Online on a
three year lease. The company will be using the space for storage
and distribution and also has its buying, finance and website teams
based at the scheme.
Wendy Slater of Garden Centre Online commented: "Following our
acquisition by Flying Brands last year, we are providing storage
and distribution services for other divisions within the group, in
addition to our garden business and this has created a need for
additional space. The Old Dalby Business Park has been a good
location for our business and we are pleased to be expanding
further here."
The 39-acre Old Dalby Business Park is located within easy reach
of Leicester, Nottingham and Loughborough, and provides a wide
range of manufacturing and warehouse space, from 16,000 sq ft to
102,000 sq ft.
Highcross asset manager, Joe Curlett comments: "This significant
expansion by Garden Centre Online is great news and we are
delighted to have been able to provide the additional space at Old
Dalby Business Park to facilitate their growth."
