SEGRO has secured two new leases with food and drink companies in West London.
SEGRO, strategically positioning itself to meet the strong demand from the sector, has secured two new leases with food and drink companies in the highly sought-after west London. These leases offer well-located, modern space within proximity of the wider London market, a key factor in the success of these ventures.
Kolak Snack Foods—part of Europe Snacks UK and a manufacturer of snacking products such as potato crisps—has agreed to lease a 45,142 sq ft unit at Premier Park in Park Royal. The company will use the new unit to store and distribute its dry snacks.
In line with the Responsible SEGRO commitment to Champion low-carbon growth, SEGRO has extensively refurbished the unit to the highest sustainability credentials, targeting BREEAM Outstanding certification. The unit was vacated last year when Japanese and Asian food distributor JFC International expanded its operations and relocated to SEGRO Park Hayes.
Rikin Lakhani, managing director at Europe Snacks UK, said: “This new space will enable our business to continue to grow and support our customers’ needs for the foreseeable future. The recent refurbishment undertaken by SEGRO is a key enabler for our sustainability journey to be net-zero carbon by 2030.”
Meanwhile, a sushi, bentos and food-to-go manufacturer has agreed to a 22,374 sq ft lease at SEGRO Park Westway in Acton, which is in addition to the existing four units it already occupies within the SEGRO portfolio in the same area. SEGRO has supported the customer on its growth journey over several years by providing a range of warehouse spaces for the storage of its products.
The customer will undertake an internal refurbishment of the new space to a highly sustainable standard and will increase the power capacity to around 1,000 KVA to meet its requirements.
Bonnie Minshull, head of London at SEGRO, said: “It is always special when customers retain and expand their operations with us. This is a great example of how we work closely with customers and go beyond a traditional relationship between the property owner and occupier to understand their requirements and provide the flexibility and scale to help drive their continued growth.
“We are proud of the refurbishment that we have delivered at Premier Park. The scheme follows the same specifications as Auriol Drive, Greenford, which was the first industrial refurbishment of this type in the world to achieve BREEAM Outstanding standard in sustainability.”
SEGRO Park Westway and Premier Park are among London’s most sought-after industrial and logistics locations near the A40 and with easy access to central London.
