Barberry, said: “This has been a very busy year for Barberry. The lack of high quality mid-box industrial space in these regions has been very well documented, making it crucial for continued investment to address the shortage of new accommodation. “We are committed to delivering these five developments in the mid-box range where there is huge pent-up demand, and we have further projects which will be announced in due course. Next year is promising to be a momentous year for the company. “This continued investment demonstrates Barberry commitment to the industrial and warehouse sector, with the past 12 months providing a very good platform for us to build on in 2018 and we already have further schemes coming forward that we intend to announce to the market in 2018.”
