Tilemaster expands with new warehouse

Tilemaster Adhesives has expanded its footprint with the addition of a 47,500 sq ft warehouse at Eaton Point, part of Matrix Park in Chorley.

The new unit will be used in addition to the company’s Leyland facility for the warehousing and distribution of tiling adhesives, grouts and flooring screeds.

Tilemaster Adhesives was acquired by international green building company Kerakoll in July 2017, and the Eaton Point expansion is part of a strategic growth plan alongside a significant investment in Leyland.

Mark Kelly, managing director, said: “The past two years have been an exciting new chapter for Tilemaster and with this new facility we continue to grow at pace."

The Leyland-based manufacturer signed a five-year lease with Chancerygate, the developer behind the site which totals 101,000 sq ft and contains 13 units.

Eighty per cent of space at Eaton Point has now been sold or let, and Tilemaster will count Waitrose, Synergy Health, NSG and Bodycare as its new neighbours.

David Tyson, asset manager at Chancerygate, said: “We’ve seen high demand at Eaton Point even before practical completion in October and it’s great to welcome a thriving business like Tilemaster Adhesives to the site." Savills and Gerald Eve acted for Chancerygate and Robert Pinkus & Co acted for the tenant.
