The largest independent plumbing & heating merchants in Yorkshire have added their 12 branch securing a new lease opening at Gildersome Spur.
Alex Hardwick, Asset Manager at Orchard Street Investment Management comments “We continue to invest in refurbishing and upgrading the properties at Gildersome Spur Industrial Estate and this is paying dividends by landing yet another new tenant, which takes the estate back to being fully let yet again”.

Kingfisher have committed to a 10 year lease agreement.
Josh Holmes of Carter Towler who negotiated the deal comments “Kingfisher Windows were looking to relocate to new HQ premises for several years and we are excited that they have chosen Gildersome Spur as their long term home.

Paul Mack, at GV&Co Property Consultants commented “Following on from securing Apollo Healthcare on the neighbouring unit, we are delighted to have also secured Panel UK as the latest new tenant at Gildersome Spur. Both units have been pre-let, which is a fantastic achievement and provides further vindication to the decision to ensure these units were refurbished to a very high standard.
Following the decision to invest in an extensive refurbishment of Unit A1 comprising 8,740 sq. ft, Apollo Healthcare Technologies were secured on a new 10 year lease. Apollo are a leading manufacturer of healthcare products and were looking to relocate to more modern HQ premises.
Will Woodhall at GV&Co Property Consultants commented: “Gildersome Spur once again has proven to be the destination of choice for another ambitious and growing local company. Our clients took the decision to carry out an extremely high quality refurbishment programme, which has paid dividends once again by securing Apollo Healthcare before practical completion”.
National refrigeration engineering company, Clade Engineering, whose clients include a number of national retailers, have expanded and committed themselves at Gildersome Spur by taking Units R1 & R2, which will provide an additional 18,000 sq. ft and therefore in total will occupy circa 29,000 sq. ft for a further 10 years. Clade Engineering are headquartered in Bristol and have further depots in Newcastle and Warrington.
Paul Mack at Gent Visick who negotiated the deal comments: “Units R1 & R2 were the only units that have come available for nearly 2 years and it was therefore no surprise to us that one of the existing tenants has taken the opportunity to secure the premises before we were able to think about launching the units to the open market.”
