Manston’s Managing Director, Tom Boardman-Weston, said of the acquisition:

“I am very pleased to be adding these two units – let to such great tenants – to the Manston portfolio. Being on the very busy Sir Francis Ley estate in Derby – they increase our exposure to industrial premises in an important urban centre. We know that in this part of the country – smaller industrial units do not often come to market, being so attractive to investors and owner-occupiers alike, so we are very pleased to have been able to acquire 26 and 26a in one transaction.

“As with all our investments – we hope to enjoy a long and mutually beneficial partnership with our tenants, and continue to invest into the site.”

Manston were advised on this transaction by Phil Randle of Salloways commercial property consultants, Callum Kenny of Grovewest building surveyors, and Fiona Thompson-Butler of Landsmiths solicitors.
