A Bedfordshire industrial site has secured three new lettings following the departure of its former occupier, an agricultural machinery dealer. Commercial property consultancy Kirkby Diamond completed the deals after the exit of George Browns, which left the Grovebury Road premises in Leighton Buzzard as part of a “major restructure” of the long standing family business.
The main building, measuring 20,851 sq ft, has been let to Global Parts UK. The company operates as an automotive store and supplier of original used car parts for a range of vehicle brands. A rear warehouse unit of 18,399 sq ft has been taken by On The Level, a UK manufacturer and supplier of wet room solutions. A further 8,662 sq ft unit was secured before reaching the open market by Klas Steel, a specialist in bespoke steel fabrication and structural steelwork.
All three lettings were completed within three months of George Browns’ departure. Eamon Kennedy, senior partner and head of industrial and logistics at Kirkby Diamond, said: “This was an excellent result for all parties. Following George Browns’ departure, there was a clear appetite from local and regional occupiers to secure space of this calibre. The speed at which the deals were concluded demonstrates the quality of the accommodation, the depth of demand in Leighton Buzzard’s industrial market and our team’s in-depth knowledge of the region.”
