Tees solicitors have recently advised their long-standing client, Woodland Group, on the purchase of a major warehouse facility in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
Woodland Group is a global logistics, freight forwarding and supply chain specialist. The acquisition of the 35,000 sq ft facility on Low Mill Lane further enhances Woodland’s presence in Yorkshire and provides a strategic base to continue delivering tailored supply chain solutions to clients locally, nationally and internationally.
Efficient and collaborative support from Tees
The commercial property purchase was led by Daniel Fairs, Partner at Tees, with Andrew Harrison, Solicitor, managing the day-to-day conduct of the transaction.
Several complex issues arose during the process, but Daniel and Andrew worked closely with Woodland to resolve these efficiently. Thanks to their proactive and collaborative approach, the transaction was completed in under eight weeks — from initial instruction through to completion.
Trusted partnership built on experience
Reflecting on the successful acquisition, Daniel Fairs commented:
“It is always a pleasure working with Woodland Group. Our mutual understanding of each other’s ways of working – built over many years of partnership – enables us to handle transactions quickly, collaboratively and, most importantly, efficiently.
Andrew Harrison was key in driving this transaction forward from a Tees perspective. Both Andrew and I look forward to continuing to support Woodland Group as they grow their already very successful business in the logistics and supply chain sector.”
Investing in growth and community
Andy Papps, Head of Corporate Services at Woodland Group, added:
“We’re very pleased to have acquired our Dewsbury facility to further support our commitment to investing in the local community and creating opportunities for growth.
Our strategic development delivers sustainable supply chain solutions for local businesses to expand, while also providing international businesses with a central hub to distribute across the globe.”
