Strategic Acquisition for J&S Motorcycle Accessories

27 March 2012

J&S Motorcycle Accessories have acquired the former Discover Leisure plc site at Oakmere, Cheshire, previously known as Harringtons Caravans, from the Administrators, KPMG.


The site comprises approximately 5½ acres including showrooms, café, workshops, parking and hardstanding, plus 6 acres of woodland.  J&S Motorcycle Accessories was established nearly 30 years ago starting with one small store in Northwich, which has now grown to twelve stores nationwide including a substantial online business.  They propose to relocate their Town Centre store on London Road and their workshops at Denton Drive, Northwich, to the Oakmere facility.  The sale of both properties is being handled by their retained Agents, Fifield Glyn, who also advised in connection with the purchase of the Chester Road site. 


Richard Smith, Director of Fifield Glyn, who advised J&S Accessories comments: “This acquisition was concluded in quick time following detailed negotiations with the Administrator in the face of fierce competition from, in particular, residential developers.  The site is in an excellent location for J&S Accessories being located in a prominent position on the A556, Chester Road, a main arterial route connecting Manchester with Chester and North Wales, as well as being situated nearby other attractions such as Oulton Park Race Track and, as such, will continue to provide local employment.”  The property was purchased for an undisclosed sum.

Making Sure People Dictate Town’s Future – Courtesy of The Northwich Guardian 29.02.12

26 March 2012


Momentum is building for a town plan that will give the people of Northwich the power to shape their future. The only sticking point is the cost of producing the plan, which could be up to £29,000. Peter Herbert, director of sustainable communities for Ground Work Cheshire, gave a presentation to Northwich Town Council. He explained the town plan would be led by the community with the help of Groundwork and Cheshire Community Action.  


‘The steering group would run events and organise questionnaires in the town to get feedback from local people then come up with an action plan’, he said.  


‘All of this needs facilitation and organisation’.


He outlined three organisational options of steering groups working with a mixture of thematic and area groups to move the plan forward. The cheapest of these was £15,000 and the most expensive at £29,000.


John Fifield, founder and director of Fifield Glyn, attended the latest town council meeting and is keen for the community to be involved in plans for the future of Northwich from very beginning. He said “I have been in touch with the Department of Communities and Local Government who advise that if local people wish to produce a Neighbourhood Plan then this must be led by the town council. If they do, then Government money could be available to fund it. As you know, there are many of us, including the Northwich Independent Retailers Association, who are very opposed to Cheshire West and Chester’s present plans without the endorsement of local people. It is precisely that sort of circumstance that the coalition Government included in the legislation in the Localism Act so that local people can decide themselves what they would like to see in their neighbourhood”.


He said leading firm of Manchester planners could run a survey for half the cost. He added “The Barons Quay scheme will be with us for at least 50 years so it is vital that local people have their say”.


Town mayor Clr Alison Gerard said “It’s great that a business person has come forward to try to have some involvement with the town plan. With interest from traders, this should have a positive impact on the town plan as we start to steer it forward “.

Sucessful Mayfair Hat Trick!

30 January 2012

Jo Hansford Hair Salon has recently taken occupation of retail premises at 48 South Audley Street, at the junction with Grosvenor Square. 


The space was formerly occupied by the Renaissance Corporation, comprising some 4,000 square feet on ground and basement floors.


The former hairdressing salon at 19 Mount Street, adjacent to Scott’s Restaurant, has been assigned to the French Fashion House, Paule Ka, for a substantial premium, who took an immediate surrender and a new Lease from the direct Landlords at a market rental level.


The premises have some 2,000 square feet, arranged on ground and basement floors. The Lease of the basement retail and ancillary office accommodation at 96 Mount Street has been assigned to Rubinacci UK,
it comprises some 1,000 square feet.


Rubinacci UK has traded from the extensive ground floor showrooms above, since 2005 and is a well-known
exclusive international and Neapolitan tailor with four major operations in Naples, Rome, Milan and New York.


Ashley Phillips Lahaise advised the Renaissance Corporation (Kashmir).  Michael Horwitz & Co. advised Paule Ka. 
Rubinacci acted on their own behalf.  Fifield Glyn’s Mayfair Office advised Jo Hansford Hair Salon on all three transactions.

Design Team Appointed To Move Baron’s Quay Forward – Courtesy of The Northwich Guardian 24.01.12

27 January 2012

A DESIGN team has been appointed to work on plans to regenerate Baron’s Quay, but a leading chartered surveyor thinks the scheme is ‘barking up the wrong tree’.  Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC) and the Weaver Valley Partnership are leading the project to transform the 25-acre site into a retail and leisure quarter. Lead consultants Rider Levett Bucknall, with architecture and planning support from Broadway Malyan, will be responsible for developing a planning application ready for submission in autumn 2012. Working alongside the design team will be letting and investment agents Lambert Smith Hampton and Tushingham Moore, who have been appointed to identify and engage with potential occupiers of the development.


Clr Herbert Manley, executive member for regeneration, said: “The professional teams we have appointed are highly qualified and experienced in delivering projects of this nature. We are delighted to welcome them on board.


“Work will now begin on developing a detailed scheme, taking into account the feedback we received from the Northwich community to the development framework.


“We will share our plans with local residents before a final scheme is developed for the planning application.”


But John Fifield, founder and director of Fifield Glyn, said he did not think the plans, which include a giant supermarket, are what the town needs.


“I do think the council is barking up the wrong tree,” he said.


“Their proposal at the moment, which I really take issue with, is a proposed 120,000 sq ft supermarket – that equates to two-and-a-half football pitches.


“A store of that size, or anything approaching that size will obliterate Northwich”.


“Northwich is extremely well-blessed with a high percentage of independent retailers for a town of its size but they won’t be able to compete”.


“But they’re what sets Northwich apart, they’re its unique selling point and should be encouraged, not obliterated.”


John Fifield’s vision for Northwich: John suggested a smaller food-only store would be more appropriate for Baron’s Quay, along with shops selling comparison goods, a cultural and lifestyle centre and family housing.


“I’m not against development in Baron’s Quay,” he said.


“Certainly Northwich does need something and Baron’s Quay is the right place to put it.


“What I would be doing is proposing a food-only store of 30 or 40,000 sq ft – we need food to attract people into the town centre – then you surround that with smaller stores which are aimed at comparison goods like fashion or shoes.”


John suggested that current supermarkets should be allowed to expand but that none should be allowed to dominate Northwich. He said the current memorial hall and magistrates’ court site is the wrong location for a cultural centre.


“It’s on the wrong side of Chesterway – I’d put it in Baron’s Quay as it’s another draw in the town centre,” he said.


“The other thing I would put into that area is family housing.


“If you walk up Witton Street at 5pm there’s nothing there, it’s absolutely dead, but you bring in some family housing and suddenly there’s a bit of life going on.”


John, who lives in Acton Bridge, said more time needed to be taken over the plans.


“No-one’s going to build anything there any time soon because of the recession so you don’t need to be in a rush, you need to be planning to get it right,” he said.


“When the upturn comes you need to have all your ducks in a row, it’s a great time now to be planning it and getting the right thing ready.”


He added: “Whatever scheme we have we will have for the next 50 years so taking a couple of years to make sure we get it right, in that timescale, matters not.”
