Pet food wholesaler takes on new Huddersfield premises

A specialist pet food wholesaler has sniffed out new premises in Huddersfield.

Yorkshire-based Sniffers Pet Care has taken 6,250 sq ft of industrial space at the £3m Bridge Business Park by the A62 in Huddersfield.

Sniffers, who are moving and expanding from the Radcliffe Road Industrial Estate in Huddersfield, are taking Units 5 and 6 at the new park on a five-year lease.

Property company Frank Marshall Estates developed the 2.73 acre site next to the headquarters of Mamas & Papas in Colne Bridge Road, just off the main A62 Leeds Road.

Edward Marshall, who runs Frank Marshall Estates, said: “We are delighted to welcome Sniffers Pet Care, a real West Yorkshire success story.

“This is an important deal for us as it is the first step towards filling our high-quality employment park, which should create up to 100 jobs. It is a vindication of our decision to speculatively develop the park.

“There are six business units on the park, ranging from 2,500 sq ft to 10,750 sq ft. They are built in three blocks, arranged around a central service courtyard, providing room for vehicles to turn round and park.”

Simon Brown, a director of Sniffers Pet Care, added: “We are expanding rapidly, with growth up 25 per cent, year on year. We had outgrown our previous premises and our new home at the Bridge Business Park is ideal. The quality of the units is exceptional, with superb workmanship.

“The location is ideal. It is so close to the M62, with access to the ports and to Yorkshire’s excellent motorway system. So it’s perfect for us, providing the perfect base from where we can continue to expand and flourish.”
