Advised by Ryden, British Wool Marketing Board (BWMB) has acquired a new depot in a multi-million pound deal. The 114,000 sq ft building on Canal Road in Bradford will become BWMB’s new area depot for the distribution of wool. Ryden provided BWMB with building consultancy and valuation advice throughout their search for a new premises.
BWMB has been located in Bradford for more than 30 years. Their headquarters is in the city’s Euroway Industrial Estate. The organisation operates a central marketing system for UK fleece wool with the aim of achieving the best possible net return for farmers.
Andrew Cliff, Ryden Partner and Head of Building Consultancy said “I have been advising British Wool Marketing Board on the best site and building options for their requirements. We looked carefully at the condition of this property and the feasibility options for its future use to ensure it would meet their needs. I am delighted to have been able to assist with providing BWMB with a hub for their Yorkshire operations going forward.”
