GVA secures new distribution centre for Butcombe Brewery

GVA has announced on behalf of Butcombe Brewery that it has successfully acquired the vacant Polden Distribution Centre located on Bristol Road in Bridgwater, Somerset.

Polden Distribution Centre comprises 53,486 sq ft of freehold warehouse space on a secure site totalling 2.4 acres. The unit is well located to act as a national distribution and bottling centre for Butcombe, with excellent access to the M5 and good transport links to its site at Wrington.

GVA was instructed by Butcombe Brewery following the company’s continued growth and popularity that has seen it rapidly outgrow its current distribution facility.

Byron Hammond at GVA comments, “Butcombe Brewery is one of a number of local clients that are seeking to grow but have been struggling to find large employment space south of Bristol. South of the city there are limited deliverable opportunities within the distribution and industrial market due to the ongoing limited supply of new development. Butcombe Brewery produces a range of much loved beers and ciders and this expansion in Bridgwater will help ensure its continuing success.”

Cushman & Wakefield acted on behalf of the vendor. Philip Cranstone of Cushman & Wakefield says, “This was a rare freehold warehouse opportunity on the M5 corridor which attracted competitive interest and we are delighted to have secured a sale to a well-known local business, to facilitate their growth in the region.”
