Independent electrical wholesaler Moss Electrical has taken a unit at Trafford Park for its first branch in the north west.

Moss is leasing 19,371 sq ft at a rental of £95,500 a year. It is a standalone unit featuring warehouse and office space and a trade counter. Consultant GVA acted as letting agent for landlord Legacy Portfolio.

Ruth Leighton, an associate at GVA, said: “This is a highly significant deal for the north west as the company has chosen the region as an important new base for the business. Moss Electrical looked at a number of options but chose Trafford Park due to its high specification and its central location with immediate access to the M60 and the M62.
