B8 Real Estate have sold a 55,000 sq ft self-contained warehouse on Mellors Road, Trafford Park to Manchester based dairy operator, Creamline Dairies. 

The facility was previously used by Bergen Transport but has been purchased by Creamline for a price believed to be close to the £1.5m asking price as part of Creamline Dairies expansion plans in the area.

Jon Thorne of B8 Real Estate acted for the vendor, said:

“In bringing this site to the market we offered a rare opportunity for an owner occupier to purchase a substantial industrial facility in the Trafford Park area and we therefore attracted a lot of interest from both existing Trafford Park occupiers and from companies out of the area looking to establish an industrial base in Manchester.

“The strong interest we had shows that even for older second-hand industrial properties there is strong demand which is a sign of occupiers having more confidence as we are coming out of recession and also the lack of supply of alternative buildings available in the market.”

Manchester agent, Ridley Thaw acted for Creamline Dairies.
