ST. MODWEN SECURES LETTING AT ELLESMERE PORT SITE

St. Modwen, the UK’s leading regeneration specialist, has secured a 68,315 sq ft letting at Cromwell Road, Ellesmere Port.

Wooden packaging and pallet supply company Northern Case Supplies Ltd. has signed a 15 year lease on the building which will house its manufacturing, reconditioning and storage facilities in a secure environment adjacent to Ellesmere Port town centre.

St. Modwen acquired the site in 2008, from Geo. Scott & Co. Ltd and has since then worked with the local authority to bring forward a mixed-use development for the remaining 18 acres, which includes the adjacent former HH Robertson Ltd site.

St. Modwen regional director, Michelle Taylor said: “To secure a letting to a well established company is great news for this site as it provides vitally important jobs in the town.

“We are exploring options for different uses on the balance of the site with Cheshire West Council and are keen to increase our investment in this key site which is an important gateway into Ellesmere Port town centre.”

Greg Milton, Managing Director of Northern Case Supplies Ltd said: “We are delighted to have acquired this excellent site thus enabling the continued expansion of our busy timber pallet manufacturing and export packing division.
