South Yorkshire warehouse sale creates up to 70 jobs

A 125,000 sq ft warehouse unit on the M1 corridor at Barnsley sold to Combined Independents (Holdings) Ltd, part of Euronics, will create up to 70 jobs.

Maple 125 at J36 of the M1 was speculatively developed in conjunction with Rula Developments with the support of Enterprising Barnsley includes 12m eaves, a 50m yard, 12 dock level loading doors, two ground level loading doors, 23 HGV spaces, 80 car parking spaces, fitted office accommodation and up to 1MVA power supply.

The group identified South Yorkshire as an ideal position to relocate and expand their distribution network, which is set to see between 60-70 new jobs for Barnsley.

Steve Scogings, Chairman, CIH commented: “This is a significant investment for CIH on behalf of its members, but one that we are confident that it will be worth its weight in gold,”

“It gives us exactly what we need as a business. We now have access to purpose-built, high-quality space in the right location to buy and hold more stock of our key product lines. This will help CIH members serve their customers in the right way, with speed, efficiency and to the highest possible standard.”

Jonathan Duck of Bramall Properties said: “Maple 125 is a prominent, high quality warehouse/manufacturing unit, in the highly sought-after 100k sq ft plus range, in an excellent central national location.”

Rebecca Schofield, partner at Knight Frank in Sheffield and head of the Yorkshire industrial team, said: “Completion of the unit was perfectly timed given the strong increase in warehouse demand we have seen in the first six months of 2021.”

Cllr Tim Cheetham, Cabinet Spokesperson for Regeneration and Culture at Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, said: “We are delighted to welcome CIH to Barnsley and look forward to supporting them as they relocate to the area.”
