News: UK Mail relocate in Rotherham
The UK's largest independent parcels, mail and logistics services company, UK Mail Group PLC, has relocated across Rotherham to the Magna 34 Business Park in Templeborough.
UK Mail has relocated their South Yorkshire operation from Hellaby and has signed a ten year lease for a brand new 27,232sq ft industrial unit at the development by Jaguar Estates and Loxley Land and Property.
GVA and Knight Frank represented the developers and UK Mail Group PLC was unrepresented. Terms of the deal were undisclosed.
With a national network of more than 50 sites and 3,500 vehicles, UK Mail Group handles around three billion items from over 2,000 customers every year, constituting 17 per cent of all addressed mail within the UK and making it the busiest alternative to Royal Mail.
Paul Hutchinson, Property Manager for UK Mail Group PLC, said: "We now have around 80 employees in our South Yorkshire operation and had outgrown our existing facility.
"Due to the nature of our business, we need quick and direct connectivity to the motorways and the ability to access multiple routes should one be affected by traffic. Magna 34 provides this in addition to offering the flexibility to tailor and fit-out the unit to our exact specifications.
"We look forward to continuing to provide an excellent service to our broad customer base which extends across Sheffield and Doncaster."
Rebecca Schofield, Associate at Knight Frank's Sheffield office added: "UK Mail Group PLC conducted an extensive search for a new facility and due to their delivery requirements, accessibility to all motorway networks was a primary factor. Magna 34 stood out in terms of both location and quality of the facility itself as the natural choice."
UK Mail Group's unit is the largest of eight industrial units which were completed as part of Phase 1 of the scheme, of which just one unit of 6,200sq ft now remains available for occupancy. A total of 10,000sq ft of BREEAM "Good" rated office space was also developed over two buildings, the first of which is fully occupied whilst the second has secured lettings to three national organisations since fit-out was completed last year. A limited number of serviced office suites which can accommodate between 2 and 15 people are available.
Additionally in Phase 1, the development partners teamed up with JF Finnegan to deliver a 151,716sq ft distribution unit for which interest is being invited.
Patrick Herbert of Jaguar Estates said: "With just one small and one large industrial unit left and limited office availability, Phase 1 has been an incredible success and we will now be looking ahead to Phase 2."
Plans for Phase 2 of Magna 34 include design and build opportunities for office accommodation from 2,000sq ft to 20,000sq ft and industrial units from 2,500sq ft up to 40,000sq ft.
