Company secures landmark letting to Druids Golf at Livingston industrial hub
The five-year, six-figure deal will see the unit, at Houston Industrial Estate in Shairps Business Park, Livingston, serve as the central operational hub for the rapidly growing e-commerce business as it continues its rapid expansion across the UK and internationally. Edinburgh-based property investment company SRA Ventures has announced the lease of a West Lothian commercial unit to high-growth golf apparel brand, Druids. The five-year, six-figure deal will see the unit, at Houston Industrial Estate in Shairps Business Park, Livingston, serve as the central operational hub for the rapidly growing e-commerce business as it continues its rapid expansion across the UK and internationally. The company's move to the 29,500sq, modern standalone facility further reinforces Livingston's status as a prime distribution and logistics location, with Druids deepening its operational footprint in the central belt. Shaf Rasul, director of SRA Ventures, said: 'We're thrilled to welcome one of Scotland's most exciting young brands, Druids Golf, to Unit 22 at Shairps Business Park. 'Its decision to establish this major operational base in Livingston is a vote of confidence in the area and the quality of this high spec commercial space. 'This deal reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in best-in-class commercial property and working with ambitious businesses scaling globally from Scotland.' Unit 22, which was acquired by SRA Ventures in March, is a high specification facility, offering three roller shutter doors, LED lighting, a self-contained secure yard and an EPC rating of A+. Its location near to the M8 offers excellent connectivity between Edinburgh and Glasgow, making it an ideal choice for Druids' warehousing, fulfilment, and operational needs. The deal was concluded with legal representation from Gilson Gray acting on behalf of SRA Ventures, while Graham & Sibbald and Ryden advised SRA on the transaction. Founded in 2000, SRA Ventures has owned and manages a substantial commercial portfolio across Scotland for over two decades, including industrial, retail, and mixed-use assets.
