One of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of clothing for people at work has relocated to Hartlebury Trading Estate, Kidderminster in a move which will increase its space by 35 per cent and consolidate its business on one site. Faithful – part of Crown East Group – has agreed terms to lease a 113,000 sq ft (10,497 m2) industrial complex at the 180 acre (72 ha) Hartlebury Trading Estate from where it will warehouse and distribute over 17,000 stock items of clothing for people at work. Founded over 175 years ago and for many years operating from Northwick Road, Worcester, Faithful is moving its entire workforce of 55 to nearby Hartlebury Trading Estate.
“The move to Hartlebury Trading Estate represents a huge investment to facilitate our ambitious future growth plans. Mindful of the employee legacy in skills and experience, the search area and criterion for a larger facility was a combination of proximity to our exiting workforce, good communications and a quality, well managed business location.” said Keith Pennington, Faithful’s managing director.
With good access to the motorway network and to the greater Midlands conurbation Hartlebury Trading Estate has become an established distribution location for firms such as ANC Parcels, City Link and TNT.
Duncan Bedhall of property agents Jarvie Bedhall who act jointly as letting agents with Harris Lamb believes that the popularity of the estate relates to the extremely wide base of workspace in sizes ranging from small enterprise units rising to manufacturing and warehousing buildings of 180,000 sq ft (16,722 m2). Modern self contained office schemes add to the total space of 1.6 million sq ft set alongside the A449 trunk road south of Kidderminster and close to junction six of the M5 motorway.
In recent months Harris Lamb and Jarvie Bedhall have let in the region of 200,000 sq ft (18,580m2) at Hartlebury Trading Estate. Current availability of industrial units range from 574 to 77,547 sq ft (53 to 7,204 m2) and office accommodation from 2,504 to17, 033 sq ft (232 to 1,582 m2).
