Warehouse strikes deal with haulage firm

Hauliers have pledged their future to Renfrewshire after agreeing terms in what is believed to be the biggest lockdown industrial deal in Scotland.

Property bosses Canmoor said they are delighted that Linwoodbased Malcolm Group has fixed terms for 67,000 sq ft of warehouse space at Westway Park in Renfrew.

Malcolm Group, one of the UK’s most successful logistics, construction and maintenance services companies, will use Block E3 for short term storage requirements.

Rob Large, director of Canmoor said: “Westway continues to offer the ideal property solution for prestigious occupiers like Malcolm.

“We always adopt a practical and ‘can do’ approach and were able to provide the right product and terms to meet Malcolm’s key business requirements.”

Norman Pollock, of Pollock Property Advisors, who represented Malcolm, said: “Malcolm had an immediate need for storage space in a secure and well- connected location.

“Westway was quickly able to provide the perfect space solution, less than three miles from Malcolm’s headquarters at Linwood.”

The Westway site offers excellent transport links to the whole of Central Scotland, with Junction 27 of the M8 only three minutes drive away.

The park is located at the Glasgow Airport Investment area, which is one of the key City Deal projects that will benefit from £ 39.1million of inward investment over the next ten years.

Other key occupiers at Westway include Doosan Babcock, AMG Group, JW Filshill, Malin Fabrication, the NHS and Strathclyde University.
