HelioSlough lets Fairoak Lane to furniture retailer

HelioSlough has let a 19,082 sq ft warehouse at Fairoak Lane, in Runcorn to Oceans Apart.

Oceans Apart paid around £3.75/sq ft on a 5-year lease for the unit on Whitehouse Industrial Estate near the M56.

Paul Cook, director of industrial agency at CB Richard Ellis, advising HelioSlough, commented: "Located within easy reach of both Manchester and Liverpool, Runcorn is widely recognised as one of the main industrial locations in Cheshire and a leading business destination in the North West. The site is ideal for Oceans Apart to take advantage of the high specification facility and local infrastructure.

"We are pleased to say that this letting exemplifies there is still a healthy demand in the area for high quality warehouse facilities, despite the economic downturn."

Companies already located within the Whitehouse Industrial Estate include O2, B&Q, Guinness and Wincanton.
