Located just five miles from J18 of the M6, the site is 25 miles from Manchester, 36 miles from Liverpool and 65 miles from Birmingham. As the first industrial estate in the UK to become a Business Improvement District (BID) as well as the UK’s first green business park, Winsford Gateway is already home to nearly 150 businesses, employing around 4,000 people.

The roadside plots are situated at the main entrance to the site where BP, Londis, Subway and Greggs are already located. With two plots under offer, two further plots of 0.66 acre and 0.375 acre remain for sale or to let.

All sites are located prominently on the main arterial road at the northern entrance to Winsford Gateway. With full planning consent in place, Rula can provide fully serviced plots for immediate development with freehold or leasehold options available.

Anthony Clitheroe, Development Director at Rula Developments said: "We are delighted to bring forward these new development plots at a time when demand for well-located, purpose-built logistics and industrial accommodation is at an all time high. We believe that our varied opportunities deliver the right product at the right time in Cheshire with capacity to create up to 600 jobs when fully occupied.

"Having already completed works on a new main access road and site infrastructure we can offer bespoke design and building opportunities for well-located large scale logistics operations through to mid-size business space and smaller retail uses."
