Winsford letting takes the biscuit 

Roberts Bakery has signed a 15-year lease on a 60,600 sq ft facility at the town’s industrial estate, where it aims to create a “centre of excellence for biscuit production”. 

The unit, owned by Pitalia Real Estate, will provide a new home for the manufacture of the baker’s Little Treats biscuit range.  

The building will also provide storage capacity for finished products and raw materials.  

Meanwhile, the company will retain its Rudheath facility, which focuses on bread production. 

The unit was recently refurbished through a project led by Harlex Property following Pitalia’s acquisition of the site as part of a wider £8m swoop at Winsford Industrial Estate. 

Legat Owen and JLL advised Pitalia. Roberts Bakery, which is owned by Frank Roberts & Sons, was unrepresented. 

Matt Pochin, director at Legat Owen, said: “Winsford Industrial Estate has grown to become a significant regional employment location with major manufacturing and distribution facilities. 

“Roberts Bakery are a notable addition to the Estate and will be creating new jobs and reinforcing Winsford’s position as a key industrial location in the North West.”
