John Sullivan, industrial and logistics agent at Lambert Smith Hampton's Manchester office, joint letting agents on the scheme, said: "Kayley Industrial Estate has continued to perform extremely well, despite the challenging economic conditions.

"These latest lettings reflect the flexible nature and overall appeal of the estate, both for existing occupiers and incoming businesses alike."

Rob Trevor, director at CB Richard Ellis Investors, added: "It is really encouraging to see the void rate below 10% particularly in the current market. This reflects a combination of hard work from our letting team, our flexible approach, and working closely with our existing customers to help their businesses survive the downturn and expand as the economy improves."
