Adhan Group has acquired Graham & Brown’s former 5.5-acre India Mill manufacturing plant in the centre of Blackburn for an undisclosed sum.
The modern, self-contained manufacturing facility, which is located on Furthergate Business Park near junction six of the M65, will continue to operate as a manufacturing and distribution centre.
Chris Henderson, from Adhan Group, said: “The addition of this central, self-contained site at the heart of Blackburn is a welcome addition to our portfolio. Rental interest is always strong for these types of sites, and we hope to have a new tenant in situ shortly with the site continuing to contribute significant employment to the locality.”
David Hill, partner at Napthens solicitors, which advised Graham & Brown on the sale, added: “India Mill is an excellent addition to the Adhan Group’s property portfolio. The site is impressive and will provide a range of companies with the perfect location from which to operate and grow their businesses.”
Jason Rawson, director at Trevor Dawson, which advised on the sale, said: “We were delighted to assist our long-standing client Graham and Brown with their successful journey into the digital era by bringing forward the disposal of the 5.5-acre India Mill site to the Adhan Group. This is a strategic site for manufacturing and distribution in Blackburn which was reflected in the extensive interest we obtained from Investors, developers, owner occupiers and prospective tenants.
“We are pleased to have been retained as letting agents moving forward and can now offer the site as a whole or on a piecemeal basis to potential tenants on favourable terms.”
