The Rushton Hickman property management team is delighted to announce its appointment as managing agent for the former CannonCraft premises on Alfreton Road, Derby.
The instruction follows the successful letting of the detached industrial unit to Perfect Tow Ltd, who have established the property as a new operational base for their expanding vehicle recovery and roadside assistance business. Rushton Hickman now provide comprehensive property management services on behalf of the landlord, ensuring the property is professionally managed and maintained for the benefit of both owner and occupier.
Occupying a highly accessible location approximately one mile north of Derby city centre, the property is situated just off the A61 at its junction with Sir Frank Whittle Way and Croft Lane, with excellent access to the A38 and the surrounding arterial road network. Extending to approximately 3,454 sq ft, the property comprises warehouse accommodation with ancillary office space, kitchenette and WC facilities, together with additional mezzanine storage. Externally, the premises benefit from a secure yard, generous external storage and on-site parking, making it a well-equipped industrial asset.
This appointment further strengthens Rushton Hickman’s growing industrial management portfolio across the East Midlands and reflects the increasing demand for proactive, comprehensive and tailored property management services.
Richard Fairey, Director at Rushton Hickman, commented:
“We’re pleased to have been entrusted with the management of the CannonCraft premises. It’s a well-located industrial unit with an excellent occupier now in place and we look forward to working closely with both the landlord and tenant to ensure the building continues to be professionally managed and maintained for many years to come.”
Jade Martin, Associate Director, added:
“This instruction is another great addition to our expanding property management portfolio. Our approach is centred around providing responsive, hands-on management, ensuring properties remain compliant, well maintained and operate efficiently.”
The appointment comes at a time when demand for quality industrial accommodation across Derby remains strong, with well-connected premises continuing to attract sustained occupier interest despite limited supply. As a result, effective property management is becoming increasingly important in protecting asset value, maintaining strong landlord and tenant relationships and supporting long-term investment performance.
