Chris Wilson, Director, Goadsby commented, “There is currently a lack of quality vacant 10,000-30,000 sq ft industrial/warehouse units for sale in the central south coast area. There are a growing number of local businesses keen to either expand or consolidate under one roof in well located freehold detached premises offering a good first impression and preferably a fenced and gated car-park/yard. We were delighted to have been appointed sole agents for all 3 disposals and the clients were particularly pleased with the high quality bespoke interactive brochures which we are able to provide free of charge.”
