ONWARD HOLDINGS Can Help Firms Take Stock With Available Warehouse Unit at Prime Yorkshire Site

PONTEFRACT, U.K. - April 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Government initiatives are expected to drive significant future growth in the Yorkshire and Humber region, meaning demand for more strategically located sites for warehouses and logistics operations is expected to outstrip current supply.

Acquiring prime sites in the north of England for storage and distribution is vital if companies are to take advantage of these favourable economic conditions as well as meet the need for shorter delivery times.

Onward Holdings is expecting strong interest in unit 4c at Langthwaite Business Park (http://www.yorkshirewarehousing.com/Doncaster-Warehouse-4c/), which comes with flexible lease and competitive rental terms. Based within the heart of Yorkshire, Langthwaite has easy access to the motorway network and the great container ports of the North, including the state-of-the-art docks at Immingham, the UK’s largest.

Unit 4c offers up to 60,000 square feet of storage, 9.1m eaves, four surface loading doors under canopies and two dock levellers. A £1million investment in security measures at the business park also means the site is suitable for both ordinary and high risk products. In keeping with Onward Holdings’ zero crime tolerance strategy, Langthwaite has fully palisade fencing and security gates.

Due to the proximity of the M1, M62 and M18, Langthwaite benefits from reduced wasted mileage and is close to the railway freight network via the nearby Wakefield Europort. With around 80% of the UK’s population accessible in four hours, the purpose-built facility is suitable for food, non-food retail and wholesale storage.

Onward Holdings’ managing director, Neil Storey, said: “The upturn in the economy and the move towards five-hour delivery schedules and click and collect means there is a growing need for more strategically located warehouses. Langthwaite Business Park is close to the main transport networks serving the UK, making it ideal as a distribution hub.”

Langthwaite already hosts a number of other businesses including Segur Logistics, Forest Freight and Great Bear Distribution. Promotion of the site is being undertaken jointly by GVA and Andrew Miller Chartered Surveyors of Sheffield.

West Yorkshire-based Onward Holdings built two substantial warehouses on the Langthwaite site and specialises in operating highly competitively priced industrial warehousing and retail parks in the north of England.

The business also owns purpose-built sites in Featherstone, Castleford, Ackworth and Scunthorpe offering a range of logistics options to suit most budgets, together with additional value-added warehouse services. The different facilities that Onward Holdings offers can alleviate the shortage of individual units and help companies gain a vital foothold in the northern supply chain.
