A BUSINESS park in Warrington has secured the largest letting in its history after an online fashion retailer confirmed its move to the town.

E-commerce fashion firm Arne Clo Ltd will become the newest occupier at Birchwood Park after signing a 10-year deal on a near 60,000 square foot warehouse.

Founded by brothers Reece and Ryan Broadhurst in 2018, Arne Clo started out with the aim of creating an honest brand which delivers the highest quality clothing with an asthetic focused on structure and minimalism.

Since its launch, the brand has grown from strength to strength and quickly outgrew its first small retail unit and then its first warehouse space in Wigan.

Over the past 12 months during the pandemic, the e-commerce fashion sector has grown exponentially.

With the trend for online purchases set to continue, the Arne Clo team is fully focused on expansion and product development from its new Birchwood base, which is the north west’s largest out-of-town business destination.

Following the move, Reece said: “We are a north west company and incredibly proud to be so.

“When we were looking to relocate from our Wigan base, although we were looking for a significantly large space, we also required easy access to motorway links.

“It was also important that the new site had all the amenities required for our existing staff members – Birchwood Park ticked all the boxes for us.

“As the full team starts to be more office based with lockdown restrictions easing, we are looking forward to trying out the on-site gym, spacious green areas and various restaurant and meeting room options – all of which are an added bonus.”

Martin O’Rourke, commercial director at Birchwood Park, added: “We are delighted to welcome Arne Clo to the park, increasing our client base within the online retail sector.

“The north west is known for its entrepreneurial spirt, especially within the fashion sector, and the Arne team is a great example of that with such inspirational growth since its launch just three years ago.

“It is also incredible news that with welcoming Arne Clo to the park, the second phase of our Cavendish Warehouse development is now fully let.”
