Deal is music to Yorkshire agency’s ears

Leading Yorkshire property consultancy Dove Haigh Phillips has helped to broker a significant deal at Burnley Bridge Business Park.

Townsend Music, which runs online retail stores for the likes of The Who, The Vamps and McBusted, has chosen Burnley Bridge Business Park as the home for its latest distribution hub.

The company has exchanged contracts on a 10,000 sq ft property at Burnley Bridge Business Park, built by Stainforth Construction.

Steve Bamber, managing director of Townsend Music, said: “Having seen a near doubling in the size of our global online operations over the last 12 months, we have outgrown our current premises and needed a new larger distribution centre.

“We had a number of requirements in order to sustain our ongoing expansion plans which included location, good transport links, size, build quality and layout.

“The new development at Burnley Bridge was ideally suited in all these areas and we are looking forward to the move and the ongoing development of the site by Eshton into a flagship business park for the North West.”

Dove Haigh Phillips are jointly marketing the £50m Burnley Bridge Business Park with Lancashire-based agency Trevor Dawson.

Leeds-based DHP has also advised Persimmon on the purchase of a 5.9 acre plot from Findel in Accrington. Planning permission was secured in 2011 for 91 houses and two business units.

Mike Dove of DHP said: “This site when redeveloped will provide good quality residential properties located in an attractive area of Accrington close to many local amenities whilst also providing excellent access to the town centre and M65 motorway.”
