Global manufacturer JELD-WEN UK has signed a lease for Unit 3A at PLP Bessemer Park, Sheffield, a new 294,000 sq ft industrial and logistics facility. The letting brings the development to 100% occupancy.
JELD-WEN UK is part of the global JELD-WEN group, established over 60 years ago and a leading door manufacturer, operating in 19 countries.
The new facility will allow the company to obtain operational efficiencies in a modern, sustainable base, supporting its continued growth in the UK.
Hugh Chesterton, development director at PLP, said: “PLP has taken a former steelworks brownfield and created a commercial park fit for ‘next generation’ manufacturing and logistics occupiers.
“We’re proud to welcome JELD-WEN to PLP Bessemer Park and to have completed this flagship regeneration project at full occupancy. The calibre of tenants we’ve attracted—each a blue-chip business with a strong manufacturing footprint—underscores the enduring appeal of Sheffield as a location for forward-looking industrial operations.”
Dom Gaffey, vice president and general manager, JELD-WEN UK, said “Securing this facility at PLP Bessemer Park is an important milestone for JELD-WEN UK.
“While the timeline for the relocation is still being finalised, this investment demonstrates a clear commitment to investing in the UK market, how we serve our customers, and how we continue to operate responsibly as an employer and community partner.
“The focus remains on sustaining the strong relationships JELD-WEN UK has with its customers and partners throughout this process.”
