Wow Lifestyle beds down at Stone Hall Mill
The Bradford firm, which makes beds and mattresses for hospitality brands including Haven Holidays and Butlins, will relocate to the 36,500 sq ft facility in Eccleshill.
Wow, which also counts Parkdean Resorts and Scape student accommodation among its client base, will relocate from its 20,000 sq ft Wyke Mills base.
Property consultancy Eddisons handled the sale of the building, which was marketed with a £1m guide price, with joint agent Sharma Williamson. GV&Co acted for Wow.
Wow Lifestyle managing director, Darren Stega-Jones, said: “We are really keen to stay in Bradford after 15 years in the city. Having our own larger building means we can put down more permanent roots and will enable us to invest in sustainability and to switch to using renewable energy.” The firm is also adding to headcount.
The four-storey Stone Hall Mill was built around 1850 and was originally used as a woollen mill. Following a refurbishment programme, Wow will use its new premises to manufacture its range of beds and mattresses.
Eddisons associate director Matt Jennings said: “There has been a strong uptick in demand for large, high quality warehouse space, both here in Bradford and in the wider market, in recent years and that buoyancy is showing no signs of decreasing.
“Strategically located units like Stone Hall Mill, which is on a 1.3-acre site and has easy access to the motorway network, are always highly sought after and we were able to sell this property very rapidly.”
