Forest Architectural Supplies Ltd, suppliers of architectural ironmongery and fixings to the building trade throughout the Midlands, is the latest occupier to acquire a unit in Odin Estates’ new industrial development Wetmore Malsters, in Burton-on-Trent.

The four-year old firm, presently in Anglesey Road, is moving into the 3,250 sq ft unit at the end of June, following Parker & Son (Printers) who recently bought two units in the development.

Odin Estates, who are backed by Hillary’s Properties Ltd, has developed 11 industrial units on the former maltings site in Wetmore Road.

“It’s a major move for us,” explained Ian Walker, a director of Forest Architectural with David Shephard. “We are putting all our operations under one roof with a view to opening a trade counter in the near future.”

Paul Rushton of Rushton Hickman, joint sales agent on the scheme with North Rae Sanders, said: “We are very encouraged by the healthy on-going level of interest in the recently-completed development.

“The remaining eight units available range from 1,524 sq ft to 4,239 sq ft but units can be combined.”

Cliff Dare, director of Odin, said: “We are delighted to welcome to The Maltings Forest Architectural Supplies, another occupier attracted by the high quality environment we have created here.”

Hillary’s were advised by Fisher Hargreaves Proctor.
