FedEx takes space in Chorley

Northern Trust has completed a 38,510 sq ft letting to FedEx at Common Bank industrial estate in Chorley, Lancashire.

The world's largest parcel delivery company signed for the letting of unit 23/24 on a 10-year deal.

Simon Walmsley, management surveyor at letting agent Whittle Jones, said: "FedEx is a worldwide brand and we are pleased they chose Common Bank for their latest distribution facility. The well-established Common Bank Employment Area benefits from excellent transport links with junctions 8 of the M61 and 27 and 28 of M6 within a short distance; which was one of the key factors in FedEx's choice of location."

Bailey Deakin Hamilton is joint agent on the scheme with Whittle Jones.
