Slough Trading Estate outperforms the market with a strong year of leasing activity
The Slough Trading Estate, owned and managed by SEGRO, had a very strong 2025
Its strategic location, excellent connectivity, modern infrastructure and buildings, as well as its ability to support a wide variety of operational requirements, meant that it continued to attract businesses from a wide range of sectors.
37 new lettings were signed during the year, equating to total of 26,600 sq m (287,000 sq ft) of space across existing buildings and recently completed space. Transactions ranged in size from 500 sq ft units supporting start-up and local SMEs through to a newly built 45,000 sq ft facility which is now occupied by an existing SEGRO customer, highlighting the Trading Estate’s ability to accommodate occupiers at different stages of growth.
Leasing activity during the year covered a diverse range of industries and uses, underlining the Trading Estate’s role as a flexible business environment. From spice and snack foods to the storage of musical instruments, car part manufacturing and logistics, a wide variety of sectors joined the roster.
New occupiers included Globexair Ltd, a freight forwarder, customs broker and express courier specialising in the wholesale market, family-owned bespoke furniture business, Ranco London Ltd and Parallel Group which provides managed print and office technology solutions that help businesses work more efficiently, sustainably and cost-effectively. Leading residential developer and housing association, London and Quadrant Housing Trust also joined the Trading Estate, with its aim to create affordable, high-quality homes for better living.
Jo Jackson, Director, Western Corridor at SEGRO, said:

The range of sectors choosing to locate here demonstrates the flexibility of the Trading Estate and its appeal to businesses with very different operational needs, from manufacturing and logistics through to specialist storage and distribution.”
Leasing performance was supported by continued investment in the quality and attractiveness of the Trading Estate amenities.
