Local furniture company, Andrew Paul Furniture, has expanded in Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire in reaction to an increasing order book and expanding client base. In need of additional manufacturing space, the business has secured an 80,000ft² unit.
The new premises will mean more employment for the local area and bring the APF portfolio of production units in Long Eaton over five sites to 155,000ft².
Tim Gilbertson confirmed the successful sublease following a client’s relocation, where FHP were tasked with disposing of good quality second-hand space on Long Eaton Industrial Estate.
Tim said: “It has been a pleasure seeing this deal complete, making our clients happy in disposing of the premises, but also it is great to help a successful Long Eaton based company, Andrew Paul Furniture, to expand further. Their growth has been remarkable over the last few years and I am sure this new facility will help them still further.
“From my perspective, Andrew Paul were terrific to deal with but also very sensible in their approach, jumping on this opportunity as soon as it came to market given the paucity of space available throughout the region, particularly in terms of large scale production and distribution facilities.
“I wish them well in their additional home and hope their business continues to grow and go from strength to strength.”
Andrew Cooke and Paul Bradbery of Andrew Paul Furniture said: “Due to our ever increasing order book and expanding client base, we were in desperate need of additional manufacturing space. We were thrilled to learn of an 80,000ft² unit that had become available close to our other four sites in Long Eaton.
“Tim Gilbertson of FHP was immediately contacted to make him aware of our interest in the property. Tim wasted no time in relaying our intent to his clients and the wheels were put in motion very quickly. The process was challenging for both parties to get the deal over the line quickly and smoothly, but we would like to thank Tim and his clients for their efforts.”
