Logistics firm secures its future in Birmingham

e-fulfilment, 3PL and warehousing specialist Pointbid Logistics Systems has secured a new 10 year lease on its HQ facility in Birmingham from The Local Authorities Mutual Investment Trust (LAMIT).

The business had been in situ at the site in Aston Witton since 2016 as sub-tenant to BSS Group.

The 120,000 sq.ft. warehouse with a listed Art Deco frontage at Junction Six Industrial Park Estate has enabled the business to provide greater capacity and supply chain solutions to a range of clients including Royal Mail Warehousing, USA Giant Fulfilment.com (FDC) and Fitbit.

Roy Cook, MD of Pointbid Logistics Systems said: “The property has served us very well to date and we are confident that the central location, being situated so close to J6 of the M6 Motorway (Spaghetti Junction) and within easy access of key labour, will assist us to continue to with providing fulfilment excellence in a ‘best in class’ service to our client base for many years to come.”

Chris Keye, director of Darby Keye Property, said: “Birmingham boasts a range of industrial and logistics accommodation, however, testament to it’s appeal, there is only ever a handful of good quality distribution buildings available. Pointbid Logistics Systems have thrived in their current environment and , it therefore made perfect sense for them to commit to a longer period of occupation in Aston.”

Ged Williams, CCLA fund manager for the Local Authorities’ Property Fund, added: “We are delighted to have retained Pointbid and this letting demonstrates the ongoing demand for well located distribution space at a time of uncertainty in the market. This asset illustrates our focus on core locations that offer long term performance to our portfolio.”

CCLA was advised by Paul Rixon , director at MK2 Real Estate.

MK2 Real advised the landlord and Darby Keye Property acted jointly with Bowyer Bryce Chartered Surveyors for Pointbid Logistics Services.
