Car Parts and Tools Firm Chooses Autumn Park as Grantham Location
A leading car parts and tools supplier to the UK automotive trade will be moving on to Autumn Park in Grantham soon and opening its 56th location as the firm expands its countrywide network.
Bennetts – which remains a family firm after 71 years of business trading – has secured a lease on 7,334 square feet of warehouse / industrial space through Eddisons and CPP, which acts as joint agents for the park’s owner, private equity real estate investor Paloma Capital.
Autumn Park is an industrial estate on Dysart Road in Grantham town centre. An extensive programme of refurbishment has significantly upgraded the commercial offer of the whole park.
Bennetts joins a number of high-profile operators at Autumn Park, including Marshall Motor Group, Toolstation and Formula One Autocentres among other industrial and trade counter names.
Team Lincolnshire Ambassador Eddisons also confirmed another recent letting of a 9,306 square foot industrial unit to a healthcare business.
According to Tony Herbert, Operations Director at Bennetts, Grantham’s prime position on the country’s road network made the town a key target for the firm as part of its very pro-active business growth plans, of which local recruitment is also a vital part.
On being appointed as the joint agents for Autumn Park, Eddisons and CPP were tasked with profiling the estate to industrial and trade counter occupiers beyond indigenous, Grantham-based operators.
Eddisons’ Will Wall said:
“The scale of the refurbishment of Autumn Park gave us and CPP the opportunity to tap into a wider pool of potential tenants which play an active role in the East Midlands corridor’s growth.
“Like Bennetts, it’s tenants who are at a point of their business expansion where they are looking to scale up now in terms of their property requirements and are at an access point where well located, good quality but affordable premises will meet both their immediate and forthcoming needs.
“Securing Bennetts as the occupier for Unit 6 at such a dynamic stage of its strategic growth across the country is a testament to both agents having solid credentials when it comes to meeting our clients’ brief and getting deals done.”
