Goodman’s London Brentwood Commercial Park is set to become the new headquarters for Wayland Games, Europe’s largest independent retailer for tabletop hobbies.
Construction is already underway for 50,000 sq ft of purpose-built warehouse space for the retailer. Wayland said it was taking the space to help it meet growing customer demand and enhance operational efficiency. The increased warehouse capacity will allow the retailer to stock more products, streamline its operations and use the latest technology to optimise inventory management, order fulfilment, and e-commerce logistics.
Richard Lawford, managing director at Wayland Games, said: “Construction of this new facility marks a significant moment in our history. The purpose-built space will allow us to drive greater operational efficiencies while catering for future business growth. As part of our commitment to sustainability, it will also help us lower our energy use and continue to support us in reducing our carbon footprint.”
Chris Beamer, associate director of development at Goodman, added: “London Brentwood Commercial Park is already proving popular and has seen aviation supply chain specialist, Farsound, and global 3PL, OMLog, basing their UK operations here. We’re excited to be working with Wayland Games to deliver a state-of-the-art facility that will support the company’s expansion and help meet growing customer demand.”
The park, which is just three miles from junction 29 of the M25, offers a range of industrial units from 20,000sq ft to 130,000 sq ft.
According to EG Radius data, average industrial rents in the area are around £15 per sq ft.
Colliers, Knight Frank and Savills are letting agents on London Brentwood Commercial Park.
