TWO tenants have taken space at Peel Group’s King Edward Industrial Estate in Liverpool, meaning the site is now fully occupied.

Hire and Safety UK and vacant property specialist VPS have both taken space at the site located close to the waterfront.

Hire and Safety has relocated from Knowsley to take 3,349 sq ft at unit 11 on a three-year deal, with VPS company, Safe Estates Services, signing a five-year deal for 4,135 sq ft at unit 5.

The industrial estate, which is next to Peel’s Princes Dock development, is already home to occupiers including Mersey Fire and Rescue, A Plant Hire and Printfine.

Ian Pollitt, senior development surveyor at Peel, said: “To have fully let the estate in the current economic climate is great news.

“King Edward Industrial Estate is an enviable location and we are pleased that Hire and Safety UK and VPS have recognised the benefits of being based here.”

Nick Tubbs, managing director at Safe Estates Services, added: “We’re delighted to be expanding our presence in Liverpool in what is an excellent location that will help us to meet our business needs. We have been serving the community of Liverpool for nearly 10 years by caring for and maintaining vacant property.

“Securing empty buildings goes beyond reducing the cost of vacancy and VPS recognise the positive impact it can have on communities.

“We look forward to developing our existing relationships across Liverpool and our commitment to the city for the next five years and beyond.”

It has more than 100 offices across the UK, the US, the Netherlands, France, Italy and Germany, employing around 1,500 people.
