NORTHERN TRUST COMPLETES NEW DEVELOPMENT AT LEYLAND TRADING ESTATE, WELLINGBOROUGH WITH STRONG EARLY DEMAND
28th April 2026
Northern Trust Company Ltd is pleased to announce the successful completion of its latest development phase at Leyland Trading Estate in Wellingborough, delivering 20,375 sq ft of high-quality industrial space across 10 new units. Encouragingly, a number of the units are already under offer, demonstrating strong demand from local businesses.
The new units are arranged in two terraced blocks and range in size from 538 sq ft up to 3,294 sq ft, designed to accommodate a wide variety of occupiers. This latest addition enhances the already diverse offering at Leyland Trading Estate, which now extends to 211,544 sq ft across 96 individual units, with accommodation ranging from small workshops to larger warehouse units of up to 15,995 sq ft.
The completed development not only modernises the estate further but is also expected to support local employment and contribute to the continued economic growth of the area.
This milestone builds on the success of the estate’s previous new build phase in 2018, which experienced strong demand and rapid take-up, further reinforcing Leyland Trading Estate’s position as a key industrial hub within the region.
Mike Grindrod, Director at Northern Trust, commented: “We are delighted to have completed this latest phase at Leyland Trading Estate. With positive levels of interest and the number of units currently under offer highlights the continued demand for well-located, high-quality industrial accommodation. This development underlines our ongoing commitment to investing in our portfolio and delivering space that enables businesses to grow and succeed.”
Caroline Jones, Regional Property Manager at Northern Trust’s Midlands office, said: “Our Midlands portfolio now extends to over 1.4 million sq ft across more than 850 units at 33 locations, supporting in excess of 3,700 jobs. Leyland Trading Estate continues to be one of our flagship sites, and the flexibility of the new units, combined with the estate’s established reputation, has resulted in strong early interest. We look forward to welcoming new occupiers to the scheme and seeing the estate continue to thrive.”
Chris Billson of Prop-Search, joint agents on the scheme added: “We have seen excellent levels of enquiry for the new units, with a number already under offer shortly after practical completion. There remains a clear shortage of high-quality, small to mid-sized industrial units in the area, and this development is well placed to meet that demand. We anticipate continued strong interest in the remaining availability.”
