Toy story as top manufacturer moves into leafy unit

A leading manufacturer of high quality toys and nursery products is moving into a unit at a leafy and well-established business centre on the Wiltshire-Hampshire border between Salisbury and Romsey.

Property consultancy Myddelton & Major has successfully negotiated the letting of the unit at Home Farm Business Centre, Lockerley, to TOMY UK on a three-year lease.

Myddelton & Major Senior Surveyor Rachael Ward said: “The arrival of Japanese firm TOMY – with European headquarters in Exeter and offices in Surrey – is a real coup for Home Farm and it has been a pleasure to help facilitate this.

“TOMY manufacturers a huge number of innovative, high-quality toys and nursery products  including Lamaze, Aquadoodle and The First Years brands  – and the new facility in Lockerley will boost the firm’s technical support  services.

Home Farm Business Centre comprises converted historic buildings suitable for a range of business uses in an idyllic rural setting in the charming village of Lockerley.

Fifteen miles east of Salisbury and six miles north west of Romsey, the centre is within 10 miles of the M27 and A30(A303/M3) and mainline rail.

Other units of various sizes are available at Home Farm, suitable for office and light production uses. Office units are fully fitted with carpeting, heating and lighting and there is ample on-site parking.

Myddelton & Major was named the most active agency in Wiltshire in 2015 for the fourth year running by Estates Gazette, the weekly and online magazine of the UK commercial property industry.
