Travis Perkins acquires new site for flagship branch

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Travis Perkins has announced that it has acquired the former Motus Commercials site in the St Philips area of Bristol in a multimillion-pound deal for the creation of a new flagship branch.

The site which was brokered by NG Chartered Surveyors, has been transformed into a new 20,000 sq ft stronghold.

The company, advised by Alder King, purchased the freehold of the 2.7 acre site on Days Road.

Will Moss of Travis Perkins said: “The acquisition of this site is an important opportunity to further strengthen our network of branches across Bristol, with the site occupying a high profile location in a well-established trade counter area. We hope to have this new branch open for trade by early 2022.”

Sunny Landa, director at NG Chartered Surveyors, added: “This has been a very satisfying deal for our client, with Travis Perkins stepping in quickly to secure a prime site in the centre of Bristol.

“Motus have now relocated to a new site in Avonmouth which better suits their requirements, so this has been a win-win transaction from start to finish. I wish Motus and Travis Perkins all the best in their new sites.”
