The move will see Gorton Brothers commence a 15-year lease for a total of 45,000 sq ft at Unit 72b.

While Howdens Joinery has taken approximately 10,000 sq ft across five units at the nearby Wrexham Point, where six further units ranging from 3,357 sq ft to 5,013 sq ft are currently available to let.

As the largest owner of land at Wrexham Industrial Estate, FIREM’s investment in Wrexham currently totals £30m and forms part of the business’ rapidly expanding presence in North Wales.

Plans for the site comprise a total of 2.2m sq ft of new build commercial space with roadside retail, leisure, industrial and trade counter units.

FIREM is working closely with Wrexham Council and Glyndwr University as well as other educational institutions in the area to provide opportunities for local people, as well as a range of tangible community and social benefits. 

Matt Gorton, Director at Gorton Brothers said: “The success of our business relies on investments such as FI’s, which increase our options for high-quality space where we can improve and expand our business.

"It’s really important that these investments are part of a bigger picture for the local economy because it’s not just simply a case of supporting local businesses but also attracting businesses from elsewhere, which bring a valuable boost to employment.”  

Tim Knowles, Founder and Managing Director of FI Real Estate Management commented: “This completion underpins our commitment to Wrexham and our determination to use our presence as a quality industrial developer to support growing businesses in Wrexham and supports the local economy as a whole. 

“High quality commercial space is in huge demand across the country and Wrexham’s excellent connectivity places it at the top of the list. Our development strategy in North Wales will ensure these businesses also have access to a diverse variety of space that suits their needs.

“Our work with Wrexham Council will also ensure our ongoing investment creates tangible opportunities for local employment and training and positively impacts the local community for the long term.”
