Fengate fits the bill for bathroom specialist’s expansion

Clifton Trade Bathrooms (CTB) is the new tenant of Unit 1, Fengate Trade Park, Peterborough, following the conclusion of a deal in which Eddisons acted on behalf of the landlord, a private client, with Adept Consultancy advising the specialist bathroom supplier.

The 6,743 sq ft unit, fronting Peterborough’s long-established Eastern Industry Industrial Estate, is the latest base in the business growth of Clifton Trade Bathrooms who, from roots in the North West, began expansion into the Midlands in 2021 and now has 54 depots & showrooms across England.

Peterborough is the firm’s furthest east location to date and, as Philip MacLauchlan of Adept Consultancy commented, “Expansion plans will see a further tally of trade counters in new locations in the coming months.

He added, “Peterborough is an important centre for CTB as the business looks to expand further South in particular. This property is in a great established trade location with all of the neighbouring occupiers that we like to see.

“The majority of the new local team will be recruited locally. An opening date will be confirmed soon following completion of the fitting out works.”

Eddisons’ Steve Hawkins led the agency’s negotiations in the transaction. He commented, “Once again, when it comes to trade suppliers, Peterborough’s prime position in bridging the East Midlands and Eastern Region appeals to occupiers in this sector.

“Fengate and the wider Eastern Industry district is where such occupiers want to locate in being among complementary businesses.“We wish Clifton Trade Bathrooms and its strategic advisors well with their robust expansion plans to the East now that they have an anchor in the region.”
