Andrew Bird, managing director of investment adviser on the deal Tilstone Partners, said: “We are pleased with this latest addition to the company’s portfolio which represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a strategic portfolio of assets, in tactical last mile distribution locations.
“They are capable of serving the growing e-commerce demand benefitting from ease of access to major UK conurbations in the North West and West Midlands regions.
“Furthermore, a number of lease events offer the opportunity to increase the longevity and quality of income over the short and medium term.”
