Industrial Estates

MEPC have been providing high specification industrial units and warehousing available to let for more than 60 years. We currently manage eight business and industrial estates across the UK with over 10m sq ft of property housing more than 1000 business clients.

Keep Scotland Beautiful

In pursuit of the Keep Scotland Beautiful –Tidy Business Standards Award the MEPC Hillington Park team spent a recent (and dry!) lunchtime doing a litter pick on the approach road from Hillington Park to Arkleston Cemetery.

In less than an hour and along a 100 meter stretch of path, the team collected eight bags of rubbish and some rather unusual items such as a bed frame, a bicycle, car bumpers and a set of venetian blinds!

Industrial Lettings

Lets keep up at Hillington

Lettings activity by MEPC at its Hillington Park estate outside Glasgow continues to bolster the local economy, despite the recession in the wider commercial property market.

In the last three months, ten new industrial lettings have been concluded, totalling almost 5,000 square metres (55,000 sq ft).

The largest transaction was to a government body which has taken a refurbished 10,000 sq ft property on a 5-year lease.

Craftology, who currently lease a unit at the corner of Huntly Road and Kelvin Avenue, are trading up to a larger property of 9,200 sq ft on a 10-year lease.

New to the Park are Tradebalance Ltd, who have leased a 8,200 sq ft unit on Claverhouse Road. Previously used for short term storage, the unit was recently refurbished and provided with a secure yard and has now been leased for a three-year term.

Undoubtedly the fastest letting was to Alpine Blinds who, following a major fire at their premises in Paisley, were able to be up and running again within three working days by leasing 1,420 sq ft at 417 Hillington Road.

Andrew Kerr, MEPC’s Asset Manager, said: "We are certainly not complacent, but the level of industrial letting activity just goes to show that Hillington Park remains the location of choice west of the city centre.

"The likes of the Alpine Blinds letting shows we are a proactive management team, based on the Park, so we can respond quickly to new and existing customer needs."

MEPC’s industrial lettings agents are James Barr and GVA Grimley.
