SEGRO has let two units totalling circa 65,500 sq ft to two food and drink companies at its schemes in West London.
Kolak Snack Foods – part of Europe Snacks UK – has taken a recently refurbished 45,142 sq ft unit at Premier Park (pictured) in Park Royal, while a manufacturer of sushi, bentos and food-to-go has agreed a 22,374 sq ft lease at SEGRO Park Westway in Acton.
The latter, which already occupies four units within the SEGRO portfolio in the same area, will undertake an internal refurbishment of the new space to a highly sustainable standard and will increase the power capacity to around 1,000 KVA to meet its requirements.
Rikin Lakhani, managing director at Europe Snacks UK, said: “This new space will enable our business to continue to grow and support our customers’ needs for the foreseeable future. The recent refurbishment undertaken by SEGRO is a key enabler for our sustainability journey to be net zero carbon by 2030.”
Bonnie Minshull, head of London at SEGRO, added: “It is always special when customers retain and expand their operations with us. This is a great example of how we work closely with customers and go beyond a traditional relationship between the property owner and occupier to understand their requirements and provide the flexibility and scale to help drive their continued growth.
“We are proud of the refurbishment that we have delivered at Premier Park. The scheme follows the same specifications as Auriol Drive, Greenford, which was the first industrial refurbishment of this type in the world to achieve BREEAM Outstanding standard in sustainability.”
