‘Motor giant’ accelerates expansion in York with new “state-of-the-art” site acquisition

Motor giant, JCT600, has acquired a modern warehouse at Centurion Park on Clifton Moor in York.

JCT600, which has multiple dealerships, service, accident repair and van centres across Yorkshire, Humberside, Lincolnshire and the North East, purchased the 17,521 sq ft unit from parcel delivery company, DPD, for an undisclosed sum.

JCT600 is a well-known, family-run business with a 75-year pedigree. It is a trusted partner of 21 of the world’s best car brands, including Aston Martin, Porsche, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari and many more. The company will use the new site as a vehicle preparation centre.

Leeds property consultancy GV&Co advised DPD on the off-market transaction alongside sbh, and JCT600 was represented by Eaton Commercial.

Jonathan Jacob, senior surveyor from GV&Co, commented: “Having let DPD their new state-of-the-art parcel facility on Northminster Business Park, we were delighted to have been retained to sell their building on Clifton Moor, which they had outgrown.

“Unit 1, Centurion Park provided a unique opportunity for JCT600 to acquire a modern, low site density building adjoining their existing ownership and we are pleased to have concluded the sale quickly.”

Robert Eaton, director at Eaton Commercial, added: “The opportunity for JCT600 to secure the freehold of further significant property in the heart of their dealership and support network at Clifton Moor, York, was not to be ignored, with the deal being rapidly concluded.

“JCT600 are now working up their plans for the business operation from the site.”
