Cooke & Arkwright's Industrial Agency has secured a letting of 47,000 sq ft at Treforest Industrial Estate to Orangebox, one of Wales’ top office furniture manufacturers. Acting with joint agents DLP Surveyors, we advised the landlord Blog Properties in the deal. Cooke & Arkwright has been providing advice on this 85,250 sq ft property for over 25 years, including latterly the sale of the building to Hutchings, Griffin Mill and Blog Properties for £1.5m.

Hutchins and Griffin Mill subsequently redeveloped the site and opened Hyundai, Nissan and Skoda showrooms within the front section of the building. The residual part of the site to the rear was surplus to requirements and is leased and managed separately by Blog Properties. Ben Bolton, Business Space Director comments: “This provides excellent warehouse accommodation in a secure but well-located site close to the Church Village by-pass. This letting to such a high profile company brings the site to full occupation.”

The Leekes Retail and Leisure Group have substantial property assets within the group and have engaged Andrew West to appeal against rating assessments on these properties since 2010. We have consistently been impressed by Andrew's knowledge of the property market and his negotiating skills have been exceptional. Given Andrew's outstanding performance, we would not hesitate to recommend Andrew to any business large or small seeking to appeal their rates liabilities.
