Evri signs deal at Runcorn depot

The UK’s largest dedicated parcel delivery company has agreed a further 5-year deal for space at FIREM’s Manor Park, Runcorn.

Evri has signed a new deal with FI Real Estate Management (FIREM) to extend its occupancy at Manor Park, Runcorn, for five years following two successful years trading from the site.

Evri is the largest dedicated parcel delivery company in the UK and its five-year tenure of the 5,085 sq ft unit will see it continue to benefit from open-plan warehouses, offices, car parking and loading areas.

Forming part of FIREM’s 15m sq ft property portfolio, Manor Park provides a blend of industrial and office accommodation and boasts direct access to the M56. Due to its strategic location, the industrial park attracts a range of businesses, including manufacturers, IT equipment specialists and e-commerce delivery partners.

FIREM has commenced a £250k refurbishment of two buildings at Manor Park, totalling 13,000 sq ft. 4 Aragon Court is undergoing a full redecoration with a new office fit-out and energy performance upgrades whilst a new roof system is installed at Units 8 & 9 Boleyn Court.

Tim Knowles, founder and Managing Director of FI Real Estate Management, commented: “Commercial property is the beating heart of e-commerce, allowing businesses to fulfil customer needs from every corner of the country. Increased demand for online retail in the last few years has led e-commerce partners to seek high-quality units in strategic locations to enable faster delivery times in the instant age. I look forward to seeing Evri continue to thrive at Manor Park, strengthening its position as a leader in the e-commerce space.”
