The Dustpan and Brush Store has acquired the former Malton Foods site and premises in Amotherby, North Yorkshire to be its new warehouse and distribution centre.
The family-run company is to relocate its current operation from Pickering to the complex in Amotherby, near Malton, which occupies a total site area of 14.81 acres.
The former home of Malton Foods Ltd closed in 2023, with the Shrewsbury office of Towler Shaw Roberts instructed by the site owners to market the property.
The Dustpan and Brush Store supply a range of brushes, brooms, dustpans and cleaning products to customers around the UK and internationally through its online shop.
Director Tom Thorp said: “We currently operate out of different warehouses, with some on the same estate in Pickering and another in Scarborough, so this will enable us to bring all operations under one roof.”
The Dustpan and Brush Store’s new premises include a range of industrial/warehouse and office buildings within the former food processing plant, which extends to 133,805 sq ft, and an extensive yard, which also provides car parking and further expansion land at the rear extending to 6.7 acres.
Toby Shaw, who handled the sale for Towler Shaw Roberts on behalf of the owners, said: “We are delighted to have concluded the sale to The Dustpan and Brush Store and we wish them every success with their planned relocation.
“This is a very significant sale for the area and demonstrates the continuing strong demand for industrial premises in the locality.”
