Naylors concludes 22,000 sq ft South Tyneside letting to laser specialists

Commercial property specialist, Naylors has completed the letting of a 22,000 sq ft industrial facility at Boldon Business Park to laser machine specialists, Trotec UK.

The signing of a new 10-year lease on 9 Didcot Way will see the relocation of Trotec UK’s head office and North East showroom from its former home at Faraday Close in Washington.

Martin Horne, managing director of Trotec, said: “We are very excited to be making the move over to Didcot Way.

“The new building has the street appeal we have been looking for and offers a location for our UK headquarters which matches with Trotec’s brand values and vision for growth.

“A larger warehouse and increased office space will enable us to extend our products and services to better meet our customer needs, in turn creating jobs within the North East and the rest of the UK.”

Established in 1997, Trotec has become well known for laser technology and laser manufacturing, serving customers in more than 90 countries with more than 500 employees worldwide.

The move to Boldon will enable Trotec UK to accommodate its growing team, improve warehousing capabilities and build a state-of-the-art laser showroom to improve its customer experience.

Chris Donabie, director at Naylors who brokered the letting, added: “There have been a number of comparable industrial units coming to the market in Tyne and Wear over the last 18 months, but very few have the high ratio of office content that this unit offers.

“In normal circumstances, a company like Trotec, which needs a high proportion of offices, would need to invest considerable funds in adding the necessary facilities.

“This was undoubtedly an important factor, but also the strategic location of Didcot Way within a 2-minute drive time of the A19, meant it was a perfect fit for Trotec.”

Naylors has also recently been instructed to market a further unit at Didcot Way, which the firm reports as being under offer.
