THE CHARITY will move from its existing outgrown facility in Trafford Park and relocate to Units H1-H3 which total 24,755 ft2 on the estate. The property comprises two interlinking terraced units of steel portal frame construction with a combination of brick and profile cladding elevations under a pitched roof with 5.8m eaves with a secure self-contained yard of some half an acre.
The charity provides food via mobile food clubs to families in deprived areas at discounted prices across Greater Manchester, Stoke and Lincolnshire.
Fisher German advised TBBT.
Fisher German partner David Newman, said: “[TBBT’s] old premises simply could not keep up with the scale they are now operating at, so finding somewhere that gave them room to breathe, grow and operate efficiently was crucial.
“Our knowledge of the market in Greater Manchester and previous work with Indurent made this deal as smooth as it could be. TBBT now have the space and infrastructure to focus on what they do best, which is helping families who are really feeling the pressure.”
The Bread and Butter Thing founder Mark Game, said: “As demand for our food clubs has grown, so has the pressure on our infrastructure. Fisher German has helped us secure a site that works operationally and for our people.
“This move gives the team the space and stability they need to lead the organisation forward and keep the focus firmly on what matters most, making life more affordable for families under pressure.”
