Two Humber firms have relocated to a recently redeveloped unit on a Gilberdyke industrial estate.
Hull-based maker of adjustable beds and mattresses, Opera Beds, and the formerly Scunthorpe-based UK arm of ELA Container, which makes container-based rooms and buildings, have found new homes in the 90,000 sqft unit at Staddlethorpe Broad Lane, Gilberdyke. The firms have moved into the former workshop base of caravan business Victory Leisure Homes, which belongs to site owner Rix Group.
Having been brought to market by Rix Properties, the site has now been divided into 53,000 sqft of industrial space, modular office space and adjoining land for Opera Beds and 17,000 sqft of space within the steel portal frame workshop for ELA Container. The deals leave 37,178 sqft of space available within the unit.
Mike Fry, director of estates at Rix Group, said “We are delighted that our investment and commitment to provide industrial warehouse and operational space has generated such positive interest. We wish our new tenants all the best in their new facilities.
“These lettings support the our evolution and the development of Rix Properties and are a prime example of us repurposing existing assets formally used within the Rix Group structure, illustrating the property portfolio owned within the group.”
Chris Hyam, senior surveyor at Garness Jones, which managed the deals on behalf of Rix Properties, said: “We’re delighted to have helped our client find two excellent new tenants for this facility, which really does offer a number of advantages to the businesses moving in. When Rix took the decision to move Victory Leisure Home’s manufacturing operation to Hull last year, it left this huge facility behind, which to their credit they have reinvested into and now split to provide three great spaces for local businesses to benefit from.
“In property, and especially for those in production and distribution, location is everything and this site is placed ideally as it benefits from excellent transport links and is also close to all of the region’s major ports. For Opera Beds in particular, being able to find such as large space, and land with it, in a good location for distribution, was a real attraction. I’m sure both businesses will benefit greatly from being on this site and it will help them go from strength to strength.”
