AC Lloyd Commercial acquires Leamington trade park in record deal

Warwickshire property company AC Lloyd Commercial has completed its biggest investment deal to date, as it acquires The Shires Gate Trade Park from the Canal & River Trust for an undisclosed seven-figure sum.
The Leamington site is home to a standalone Travis Perkins builders’ merchants and four smaller units occupied by Toolstation, Tile Giant, City Plumbing, and Benchmarx. It also sits right on AC Lloyd’s doorstep, as the firm is headquartered in Tachbrook Park just down the road.
Managing Director Mark Edwards said: “Tachbrook Park remains one of the busiest and most sought-after business parks in Warwickshire, not just Leamington, and over our 75-year history we have helped to attract a wide range of businesses, across various sectors, to the location.
“We have also recently developed the £5.5 million Space Business Centre, Warwick on Tachbrook Park that is attracting occupiers from a wide range of sectors which underlines the need for units of all sizes to help businesses to thrive and boost our local economy.
“This deal represents a significant acquisition as part of our strategy for the expansion of our investment business activities.”
AC Lloyd was represented in the deal by Duncan MacLaren of MacLaren & Partners and James Polo-Richards of JG Poole & Co.
