SEGRO has announced a 40,000 sq ft letting to Rhodes Freight Services at Slough Trading Estate.
Rhodes, a new customer at the estate, specialises in handling and transporting perishable products such as vegetables, fruit, pharmaceutical goods and freshly cut flowers that require temperature-controlled environments. The firm is moving from a site at Iver.
The building at 61 Whitby Road, represents the largest single industrial letting on the Slough Trading Estate this year.
The lease was signed following the practical completion of renovation works, including improvements, repairs and alterations to accommodate Rhodes Freight’s requirements for advanced technologies and temperature-controlling equipment.
Anna Bond, head of Western Corridor for SEGRO, said: “This letting reflects the speed and adaptability of our teams in preparing spaces to accommodate varying business operations.
“The transportation of perishable goods requires meticulous planning, and this is a great example of how we work closely with our customers to understand their requirements and provide the scale and flexibility that supports their continued growth.”
David Gaskell, from Rhodes Freight Services, said: “We are so excited to be coming to Slough, especially into such a fantastic building. This step feels natural for us as a company, with room to develop and we look forward to the challenges ahead.
“We feel that this new, prestigious premises, in this prime location, raises our profile with customers old and new, giving us a secure foundation to increase our approach to the global marketplace.”
