Lush signs for two new warehouse units
Cosmetics brand Lush is continuing its expansion by signing for two new warehouse units in Poole.
The retailer is growing its presence at Fleets Corner Business Park by taking refurbished warehouse units A1 and A2 at the site. These have a combined gross internal area of approximately 103,000 square feet, which means Lush’s total space at Fleets Corner will be extended to 275,000 square feet.
Unit A1 will house Lush’s material goods warehousing and production which produces colour formulation for its global manufacturing sites. Meanwhile unit A2 will be home to production departments for its Oral Care, Lush Makeup, Lip Balm, and Bubble Bath Bar ranges.
Chase Clark, Lush manufacturing director, said: “The signing of the A1 & A2 units at Fleets Corner Business Park is part of Lush’s strategic plan to secure the right space in the right place. The addition of these alongside our existing presence at the park takes 66% of our Poole based operations within Fleets Corner. This enables us to consolidate our manufacturing campus on the Nuffield Industrial Estate, supporting current capacity and future growth.”
The news follows Fleets Corner’s signing of a Poole-based civil, structural, and environmental engineering firm which has taken 4,000 square feet of newly refurbished office space.
Stephen Ellis, senior investment manager at Federated Hermes, added: “We are committed to supporting and nurturing existing occupiers at Fleets Corner, helping their businesses to grow by providing high quality, easily accessibly space that can fulfil a variety of needs. By working closely with Lush, we have been able to provide them with space that meets all their requirements, and their loyalty is a great vote of confidence for other occupiers.”
