Aktrion signs in Warrington
The automotive services supplier will take 57,000 sq ft at Ribston’s Taylor Business Park in Culcheth, to support fleet vehicles at Liverpool and Manchester’s airports.
Industrial-focused agent B8RE secured the deal on behalf of Ribston, which bought the park in 2018.
Aktrion said the facility will be a central base to enable the company to undertake automotive services for fleet vehicles based at both Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Following the 2018 acquisition, Ribston has carried out rolling refurbishments as buildings have become vacant.
Will Kenyon, director at B8RE, said: “Warrington is a prime logistics area with excellent connectivity to the regional and national motorway network. Taylor Business Park benefits from 24/7 gated security and along with the quality of unit and easy access to both major North West airports were all key reasons on Aktrion’s decision to move here.”

For Ribston, the deal represents closure on a programme to re-fill 100,000 sq ft across three buildings, previously occupied by intralogistics giant Jungheinrich.
Adam Morgan, asset manager at Ribston, said of that programme: “Each building was remodelled and fully refurbished and have been let to a range of national occupiers who have been attracted to Taylor Business Park due to the location, high quality accommodation and landscaped surroundings.
“We continue to invest in the business park and have recently completed the refurbishment of multiple 2,500 sq ft units that have become vacant as businesses have expanded into larger premises on the business park.”
Taylor Business Park is located six miles north-east of Warrington town centre, 2.5m from Junction 11 of the M62 and within four miles of Junctions 21, 21A and 22 of the M6. The estate provides business space from 350 sq ft to 57,000 sq ft and benefits from on-site security.
The incoming tenant was unrepresented.
