Toolstation signs up to Great Western
Building supplies distributor Toolstation has opened a trade counter in Worcester. The company agreed a ten-year lease with Birmingham developer St Modwen at the Great Western Business Park.
Toolstation has taken a lease on the 6,823 sq ft at unit 302 at the business park in a move which it said was in line with its growth strategy.
The first completed phase of the park on Tolladine Road comprises 18 industrial and storage units ranging in size from 2,218 sq ft to 23,468 sq ft.
Philip MacLauchlan, managing director of Adept Consultancy and property adviser to Toolstation, said: “Worcester was a target city within our expansion plans as our research highlighted that the city has a direct catchment area of more than 80,000 people, with the demographic fitting with that of our target market.
“There are also high levels of older private housing stock throughout Worcester which may require maintenance, together with high levels of building activity and active tradespeople.”
