Challenge

Our Birmingham-based industrial agency team was appointed by painting and decorating specialist, PaintWell, to acquire several new trade counter premises to support of the firm’s national expansion strategy.

The largest independent decorator merchant in the Midlands, PaintWell initially sought ten trade counter sites across the East and West Midlands, North East and North West of the UK, which grew to thirteen sites as the project progressed.

How we helped
  • We worked with our client to understand their business and future growth strategy
  • Our agents began a comprehensive market search for appropriate premises within the geographies specified
  • We shortlisted relevant industrial premises for review by the client
  • Viewings were then organised for each shortlisted property meeting our clients’ specification
  • We negotiated the best possible lease terms to secure 12 lettings in York, Nottingham, Bredbury, Macclesfield, Kingswinford, Droitwich, Kidderminster, Derby, Congleton and Glasshoughton.

We instructed Vail Williams to locate suitable trade counter premises and we have been extremely pleased with the work already carried out and that which is ongoing on our behalf.  With our acquisition drive continuing into 2023, we are indebted to Vail Williams for consistently coming up with the goods for us in terms of well-located trade counter opportunities.

Results
  • Having spent time understanding our client’s objectives, we sourced and secured several premises to meet our client’s future growth needs
  • Our in-depth knowledge of the industrial property market nationally allowed us to negotiate the best possible lease terms
  • Owing to our success, we were retained to secure additional premises across the East and West Midlands, North East and North West as part of PaintWell’s continued expansion plans, which includes an additional site at Northallerton Gateway.
