A supplier of adapted and special purpose vehicles has acquired a Rugby industrial unit for £2.5m to provide the business with a Midlands transport hub.
Allied Vehicles Ltd, based in Glasgow, has purchased the 2.23 acre site at 6 Somers Road, which will service its showroom in the Midlands and acts as a staging post for all UK deliveries south of rugby and onward deliveries to meet the demand for its wheelchair accessible vehicles in Europe.
The site includes two buildings, storage room, mezzanine space and storage hut, totalling 17,885 sq ft.
Allied Vehicles already operates from premises in three locations in Scotland and on London Road, Coventry.
The freehold site was sold by Mark Booth and Tom Bromwich of Bromwich Hardy on behalf of the Modern Plant Hire Ltd Retirement Benefit Scheme.
Booth, surveyor at Bromwich Hardy, said: “This was a significant site in an excellent industrial location, offering a spacious open yard, two main warehouses with additional storage space and a two storey office building.
Michael Tarrant, representing the vendor, added: “Bromwich Hardy found a buyer who really wanted the site, and so we were very pleased to be able to complete the sale to Allied Vehicles Ltd and wish them all the best with their expansion plans.”
