News: Crosby Kitchens take space in Rotherham

By

Crosby Kitchens, a major UK kitchen designer and supplier, has agreed a five year lease on new premises in Rotherham.

The company is owned by Aberdeen-based CHAP Holdings and had housed its stock in Edinburgh whilst operating out of The Wesley Centre in Maltby, Rotherham.

Its new home of Unit 4 at Houndhill Park, Manvers, comprises 10,460 sq ft of trade counter and storage space as well as including 2,735 sq ft of first floor offices.

Jones Lang LaSalle's industrial agency team acted on behalf of Praedia Investment Limited for the deal. Richard Harris, director from Jones Lang LaSalle, said: “The deal works well for both Praedia Investment Limited and Crosby Kitchens who can now invest in this larger space over the medium term."

The company began as K Brody Ltd in 1936, a small company specialising in the manufacture of bedroom and dining furniture for supply to local builders. It moved into manufacturing kitchen units and despite the parent company going into receivership in the early 1970's, the profitable business joined the The Crosby Group where the development of the flatpack concept meant that the arm quickly became accountable for 50% of the turnover for Crosby's Consumer Products division.

CHAP (Holdings) Ltd, one of Scotland's leading privately owned construction groups, acquired a 60% stake in the firm in 2000 and are now sole owners.
