Toolstation builds on expansion with opening of third branch in Sheffield

Toolstation, the national trade counter occupier, has expanded with the opening of a new branch at Holbrook Enterprise Park in Sheffield.

Toolstation signed a 10-year lease with regeneration specialist St. Modwen for over 6,000 sq ft of space at Holbrook.

Bringing its third branch to Sheffield, Toolstation Holbrook will stock over 11,000 products including trade essentials and top brands.

Philip MacLauchlan, managing director of Adept Consultancy UK Ltd, which advises Toolstation throughout the UK, said: “It was a pleasure to deal with St. Modwen and refreshing to do business with a commercially minded landlord.

“We have now started looking for our fourth branch in the city underlining our confidence in the Sheffield region.”

Paul Brustad, development manager at St. Modwen, added: “Our accommodating and flexible approach to lettings has meant that Toolstation has been able to expand its offer in Sheffield by opening its third branch in the area.

“This is testament to Holbrook’s quality units and well-established industrial location.”

Rebecca Schofield, partner at Knight Frank, which represented St. Modwen, also commented: “Toolstation is a great addition to the line-up of tenants at Holbrook Enterprise Park and the letting is testament to the specification and flexibility of the units.

Holbrook has proved popular to date with only two 6,000 sq ft units remaining available.“

Holbrook Enterprise Park forms part of the established Holbrook Industrial Estate, located close to the M1 Motorway and Sheffield City Centre.

Occupiers on the Park include Country Fresh Foods and GDL Air Systems. Over 90% of the estate is currently let, with just two units now available for lease.
