Portsmouth: HIPPO takes last unit at Blueprint Industrial Estate, says Vail Williams

National waste logistics company HIPPO has taken the last remaining unit at Blueprint Industrial Estate in Portsmouth. Commercial property expert Vail Williams acted on behalf of the landlord Glen House Estates.

The deal sees HIPPO, which provides bespoke and reliable waste solutions to help business and domestic customers reduce their costs for waste disposal, take a new six-year lease on the 8,386 sq ft unit which is located at Portsmouth’s best-known industrial location.

“HIPPO experienced record growth in 2013, collecting our millionth HIPPOBAG which resulted in the need for us to expand our logistics operation to aid the expansion of the business,” commented HIPPO managing director Gareth Lloyd-Jones. “Vail Williams offered us an ideal business solution with this property; with both office and warehouse space it will allow us to continue to grow.”

HIPPO also has an office at the prestigious 1000 Lakeside in North Harbour, Portsmouth. This scheme is now fully let following the recent agreement with Wiggle, brokered by Vail Williams and other joint agents.

Vail Williams surveyor Leanne Channon said: “Our client is delighted that HIPPO has chosen Blueprint as its operational base. The unit had recently been refurbished and is one of only a handful with a large rear yard, so it suits HIPPO’s needs perfectly.”
