Westway Cooperage has more than doubled the size of its premises at Westway industrial estate near Glasgow Airport after signing a 10-year lease on a 5,300 sq ft unit.
The company, which trades and repairs oak casks for the Scotch whisky industry, now occupies 9,400 sq ft at the estate.
Jamie Reilly, director of Westway Cooperage said: “2024 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for Westway Cooperage. Our strategic investment in additional space paves the way for the expansion in our cask repair capacity for our key client base. Westway remains our ideal location, providing the flexibility needed for growth.”
Gregor King, asset manager at Westway for Canmoor, added: “We are delighted to have concluded this new lease with Westway Cooperage to facilitate their expansion into a refurbished unit as a consequence of the growth of their business. This is a perfect illustration of the benefits of locating at Westway, where a single entity owns the entire estate and we therefore have greater flexibility to accommodate our occupiers’ changing requirements.
“The growing appeal of Westway reflects our commitment to improving existing buildings and developing best in class industrial space with market-leading ESG credentials. This strategic focus is receiving positive feedback from potential occupiers in the Scottish market and we expect to be making further announcements about new lettings in the near future.”
Andrew McCracken, director at JLL, said: “Westway stands as one of Scotland’s premier industrial parks, consistently drawing in substantial interest from industrial and logistics occupiers. Witnessing a new, ambitious business opt to expand its base here is truly encouraging.”
JLL and Colliers are joint letting agents at Westway.
