Agent fuels tanker firm’s growth

Salloway Property Consultants has helped a tanker hire business expand after overseeing a deal for more open storage land.

WG Tankers, which already has a presence in Woodyard Lane, Foston, is taking further space nearby at Heath Top on the former RAF Church Broughton runway.

William Speed, of Salloway, who negotiated the deal to WG Tankers on behalf of a private client, said: “The demand for open storage land has increased dramatically over the past couple of years, so it isn’t surprising to see that when an opportunity like this presents itself there are high levels of interest.

“The site comprised over five acres of open storage located on a former poultry farm in Foston, extremely well located for accessing the A50 dual carriageway and in turn Derby, Stoke and the M1 and M6 motorways.

“It will provide WG Tankers with the perfect opportunity to increase their storage provisions and offerings for customers.”

Ian Buxton, director of WG Tankers, said: “It was great to be able to find more space so close to our existing site in Woodyard Lane.

“This new site gives us the opportunity to consolidate a number of storage facilities and improve our offering and accessibility to customers throughout the UK.”
