Recycling firm moves from Old Trafford

The national recycling compnay Biffa plans to leave its £13m Greater Manchester base and relocate part of its operations at Irlam in Salford.

International real estate advisor Savills has been appointed by Biffa to sub-lease its warehouse unit at Fraser Place in Trafford Park.

Comprising 208,000 sq ft (19.323 sq m) of modern industrial / warehouse space, the unit is available on either an assignment or sub-lease. The current passing rent is £4.75 per sq ft.

Stuart Murray, industrial director at Savills, comments: “The space at Fraser Place offers a unique opportunity for occupiers to snap up the only modern building of this size and quality in the Manchester area currently available. Located in the heart of Trafford Park the site is fully self contained and is currently under full refurbishment by Biffa.”

Nick Barsby, property manager at Biffa, adds: “After a review of our recycling capacity requirements in the North West we have decided to close our operations at theTrafford Park MRF recycling plant, with services transferred to similar facilities at Aldridge, Edmonton and new smaller facility at Irlam.

“Employees at Trafford will be re-deployed locally where possible and new jobs are being created at the other sites as a result of the decision.”
