Gordons advises Warburtons on 65,800 sq ft distribution centre pre-let at Ferrybridge

Gordons has advised Britain’s largest bakery brand on the pre-letting of a 65,800 sq ft distribution centre to be developed at Mountpark Ferrybridge.

Warburtons has agreed a 20-year lease on the facility, making it the first occupier on the new industrial and logistics scheme, which is strategically located at the intersection of the M62 and A1(M).

A team led by Gordons commercial property partner, Sarah Ratcliffe, advised Warburtons on the deal. Last year, she advised Warburtons on a similar deal which was the pre-letting of a 65,850 sq ft distribution centre on a 25-year lease in Biggleswade, near Bedford.

Bolton-headquartered Warburtons currently produces more than two million products every day at its 11 bakeries, which it delivers fresh to 18,500 stores across the UK every morning from the company’s 18 depots and distribution hubs.

Sarah Ratcliffe commented: “We are very pleased to once again advise Warburtons on an excellent distribution centre pre-let deal.”
