Logistics firm takes on Sheffield parcel franchise

Seymour Enterprises Ltd, which operates various businesses within distribution, logistics and ground transportation sectors, has taken on the Sheffield franchise of parcel carrier XDP Express.

hlw Keeble Hawson was commissioned to secure a five-year lease on a new 5,300 sq ft depot at Orgreave Close on the Dorehouse Industrial Estate after it was decided to relocate the business to a larger site from the Marsden Industrial Estate in Handsworth.

Amy Smith, a solicitor at the Sheffield office of hlw Keeble Hawson, said: “The acquisition of this new site for Seymour Enterprises is further evidence that Sheffield’s commercial property market continues to gain momentum.”

Adrian Seymour, director of Seymour Enterprises, commented: “The acquisition of the XDP Sheffield franchise by Seymour Enterprises was a perfect opportunity to expand our business interests into a sector that is experiencing considerable growth due in part to the boom in internet shopping.

“We chose the Dorehouse Industrial Estate because of its convenient location and access to the motorway network. hlw Keeble Hawson’s expertise has been instrumental in sealing the deal for us.”
