On the other side of the Pennines, the team acquired 215,000 sq ft former Poundworld unit on behalf of Panther Warehousing Ltd, a long-standing client. The deal was complicated by Poundworld entering administration during negotiations, necessitating the need to agree terms direct with the Landlord. The tenant is a rapidly growing two-man home delivery business.
