B&M makes a home at 674,000 sq ft Ellesmere Port logistics site

Cain International has signed B&M Retail at Link 674 on Link Logistics Park in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, in one of the UK’s largest logistics deals this year. B&M has signed a 10-year lease for 674,265 sq ft at the facility, managed by Firethorn Trust on behalf of Cain. B&M operates 764 stores across the UK, together with 129 in France, located in both out-of-town retail parks and shopping centres. The site will serve as an imports centre, managing inbound container flow and enhancing the ability of B&M UK’s five existing distribution centres to handle increasing volumes. Tim Brazier, senior vice president at Cain International, said: “Our investment thesis is built on forming strong partnerships and developing high-quality spaces that support businesses aiming to establish or expand their presence. Securing B&M Retail as a tenant reinforces our belief in the strength and resilience of strategically located, thoughtfully designed assets tailored to meet the needs of innovative companies.” B8 Real Estate, CBRE and Moriarty & Co acted for Cain and Firethorn Trust; B&M was represented by Savills.
