The UK’s
oldest and largest sail training charity for young people, The Tall Ships Youth
Trust, has taken the last remaining unit at The Tanneries, the increasingly popular
industrial estate on Brockhampton Lane, Havant.
The Trust has signed a new three year lease
on the 1,022 sq ft storage unit to use as its main sail storage facility, thus
enabling it to keep all its sails in one place over the winter months or when
not in use.
The Tanneries industrial estate is owned by
SR Properties Nationwide Ltd which has invested considerably in the estate
since acquiring it five years ago.
Improvements have included resurfacing the car park and estate roads, installation
of CCTV cameras and recently, replacing the original asbestos cement roof on 15
units with modern profiled and insulated composite sheet cladding.
Commenting on this latest transaction, Peter
Dalby, Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell Associate Director said: “We have managed
the site on behalf of the SR Properties for four years. In that time we have
overseen substantial upgrading works which have resulted in cost savings for
existing tenants as well as attracting a number of new businesses including
Tall Ships and the estate is now fully occupied.”
Tim Law, Tall Ships’ Marketing and Operations
Director, said “It’s great to be able to consolidate all our storage into one
single unit. The size and the location of The Tanneries is ideal for us.”
