Major Lettings Bring Jobs to Barnsley

Acting on behalf of F&C REIT Asset Management, CBRE and GVA have completed two lettings totalling 128,352 sq ft at Dearne Mills in Darton, Barnsley.

Food retailer, Frozen Value, has leased the 65,036 sq ft Unit 5 which is adjacent to its current on-site operation. The new site is set to create around 20 new jobs within the region in the next year and will assist the continuing expansion of the company which has just celebrated its 100th store opening.

Kingspan Renewables has relocated from within the site to sign a new lease on the 63,316 sq ft in bay 4.

Dearne Mills is a 321,511 sq ft, five-bay industrial warehouse scheme located between junctions 37 and 38 of the M1 Motorway. Following the recent lettings, three units remain available for immediate occupation totaling 193,159 sq ft.

Senior Director of Industrial Agency at CBRE Sheffield, Toby Vernon, said; “By combining flexible, low cost storage/production space and fantastic transport networks, Dearne Mills stands out in the South Yorkshire marketplace as an attractive and immediately available opportunity. It is always testament to the strength of a scheme’s offering and positioning when an existing tenant chooses to expand within their current location and Frozen Value’s commitment to Dearne Mills is a perfect example of this.”

Lewis Mantle, Asset Manager at F&C REIT Asset Management continued; “We are keen to continue the momentum of the recent lettings at Dearne Mills and feel positive that the three remaining units which comprise 193,159 sq ft will be an attractive offering to potential tenants.”

Rob Oliver, Director of GVA, added; “The site benefits from a great position on the M1 in terms of access to both South and West Yorkshire and we are able to offer competitive lease terms on the available units.”
