The Derby Trading Estate has attracted a trio of tenants, following a makeover of the site.

Acting jointly with Gadsby Orridge, Derby property agent Innes England has let units 8 and 9 on the estate following refurbishment works, which has seen both units extended to approximately 1,700 sq ft. 

Unit 8 has been let to the Grow Room as part of its expansion program. The Grow Room is one of the UK's largest suppliers of hydroponic growing equipment and sells a variety of composts, tanks and supplies.   

Daniel Hemsley, managing director from the Grow Room says: "We have had a base in Leicester for ten years, and due to growth, we decided to expand and saw a potential market in Derby. We are really pleased with the location, as there is good access for our customers, and is just what we were looking for." 

Unit 9 has been let to Jim and Anne Coppen, who are opening a franchise of Jaspers catering. Jaspers offers a high quality food service for office catering. The Coppen's  will now fit out the unit for food preparation.  

Jim Coppen from Jaspers says: "We were looking for something that had a central location and a lot of space for our food prep. The trading estate is clean and modern and really fits well with our corporate image." 

Unit 22, also comprising some 1,700 sq ft, has been let to the National Car Cleaning Company, which runs a professional car cleaning and valeting service from the unit. The business covers the local area taking advantage of the large number of car dealerships within the vicinity.

Tim Richardson from Innes England acted on behalf of landlord Whittle Jones and says: "Derby Trading Estate is in an excellent location having frontage to both the A61 (Sir Frank Whittle Road), which provides high visibility to a busy arterial road into the city centre and Stores Road, which in itself is a popular trade counter location. 

"The estate is well maintained and managed thereby enabling tenants to concentrate on running their businesses. Leases can be agreed quickly allowing early access and offering flexible terms. The landlord also retains responsibility for external maintenance of the buildings and roofs, common areas, roadways and the like, taking the worry away from the tenants."

There are currently two units remaining available, of approximately 2,500 sq ft each, both in prominent positions on the estate.
