Hortons has submitted a planning application for a new 175,000 sq ft purpose-built fleet management centre on behalf of Toyota Material Handling UK (TMHUK) at Old Dalby Business Park in Leicestershire.
TMHUK has been based at the park for more than 20 years and the new facility will be constructed on the site of a former industrial building previously located on the ex-Ministry of Defence estate.
Stuart Reilly, TMHUK’s director – rental and used, said: “TMHUK are delighted to remain on site at Old Dalby and further develop our fleet management centre. This is the biggest investment project of the year and will ensure we continue to be able to provide sustainable customer success to secure, create and grow new employment in the area.”
Jeremy Boothroyd, from Hortons, added: “We’re proud to be working with TMHUK on this strategically important development. The new centre will deliver modern, sustainable industrial space that will enhance TMHUK’s operational efficiency and support its growth plans. It’s one of several projects which are significantly improving the quality of accommodation across Old Dalby Business Park.”
Hortons has also submitted a planning application for a second unit of 25,000 sq ft on an adjacent plot as part of its ongoing investment in Old Dalby Business Park. It has recently refurbished a 67,000 sq ft unit, now available for occupation, which can be let as a whole or sub-divided to suit a range of occupier needs.
TDBRE and FHP are joint agents at the park.
