Trade opportunity at South Shields

Travis Perkins is bringing two units to the market at its Group Trade Park currently under construction at Western Approach, South Shields.

Mark Proudlock, partner, industrial agency, Knight Frank, says the concept of bringing all Travis Perkins brands under one roof to create a ‘one-stop shop’ for builders and tradesmen is new to the North East. “Travis Perkins has seen the opportunity to create a multi-brand hub with Travis Perkins, Benchmark Kitchens & Joinery, City Plumbing Supplies, Tile Giant and Toolstation taking space. The creation of the Western Approach Trade Park was facilitated by the purchase of the former Be Modern premises last year,” says Mr. Proudlock.

The acquisition gave Travis Perkins the crucial site size required to bring its leading brands onto one site. The combination of prominence to Western Approach, one of the main arterial routes leading to South Shields town centre, and its well-established trading history with nearby occupiers including Wickes, ASDA, Pets at Home, Screwfix and Plumb Center, were key drivers to their choice of location and in turn are expected to help generate significant interest in the two units which Travis Perkins are bringing to the market.

“The available units range in size from 3,842 to 4,951 sq ft and can be combined to deliver 8,793 sq ft. The Western Approach Trade Park will open it doors in February next year and given its outstanding location demand for the available units is expected to be very strong,” adds Mr. Proudlock.
