A leather and fabric upholstery importer has taken two units at the Severnlink Distribution Centre, near Chepstow.

The deal was secured by property adviser Knight Frank for a 20,000 sq ft letting on behalf of landlord Custodian REIT.

The leather and fabric upholstery importer Global Furniture Alliance – GFA – will occupy Units 10 and 11 on a long-term lease at an annual rental of £70,000. The company will upgrade office facilities at the buildings.

James Painter, managing director at GFA, said: “As a business we are delighted to secure the two units at a competitive rate, combined with a superb location for our customers and staff. We have signed up to a 10-year lease, so GFA very much sees a long term future on this estate.”

Neil Francis, partner in the industrial agency team of Knight Frank in Cardiff, said: “The centre is a popular warehouse and logistics centre adjacent to Junction 2 of the M48 close to the Severn Bridge, with superb access to South Wales and to the M4/M5 interchange.

Tom Merrifield, director at Billfinger GVA, said: “Its location makes Severnside a popular choice for companies seeking a distribution base in the region and currently just the detached Units 1 and 2 – totalling around 26,000 sq ft - and the end-terrace Unit 8 remain available.”
