Hellier Langston’s Director Matthew Poplett said “This is a unique opportunity to acquire an industrial site with direct water access in Southampton. It will suit a variety of industrial, marine companies as well as the emerging renewable energy sector. The site was formerly a wind turbine manufacturing facility prior to its current use of manufacturing and repairing hovercrafts.”
