J&E Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has let an 18,000 sq ft industrial unit with substantial office and staff facilities at Righead Industrial Estate, Bellshill to Morrison Utility Services at an annual rent of £95,000.

Situated on a large secure corner site on Sholto Crescent, immediately to the south of Strathclyde Business Park, the property, which was sold by J&E Shepherd on behalf of its previous owner, the Royal Mail, has a secure yard area bound by steel palisade fencing and security gates.

Jamie Savage, surveyor at J&E Shepherd said, “Given the size of the site and the yard of the existing building, this property represented a rare opportunity for expanding or redeveloping the site to suit specific occupier requirements. Consequently, there was keen interest in this property which secured a top quality tenant at the asking rent for large premises within the early stages of marketing during a supposed downturn in the market.”

One of the UK and Eire’s leading service providers within the electricity, gas, telecommunication and water sectors, Morrison Utility Services’ offerings are centred on the provision, replacement, repair and maintenance of utility infrastructure, which its clients own and use to deliver water, power, energy and communications to their customers.
