ehB’s generosity boosts hospice
A Warwick charity has received a welcome boost to its coffers from a series of fundraising events by a Leamington-based commercial property firm.
The Myton Hospice, which helps people suffering from incurable illnesses, has received £6,500 in donations from property consultants ehB Reeves, in Clarendon Place.
Kind-hearted staff at ehB organised a golf day, took part in an ‘It’s a Knockout’ fun day and even climbed Mount Snowdon dressed at Santas to help raise funds for the hospice, which is situated in The Grange, Warwick.
The money has been raised over the last 18 months, after ehB chose to mark its 10th year in business by supporting Myton as its nominated charity.
Simon Hain, ehB Reeves director, saluted his fabulous fundraisers, saying: “We are delighted to support the amazing work Myton Hospice does in this area.
“All the fun we’ve had at the golf day, fun days and climbing Snowdon was made extra special because it was all in aid of such a worthwhile cause.”
Chris Wilmot, corporate fundraiser for Myton Hospice, said: “We are incredibly thankful to ehB for their continuing support.
“It was great to see them enter a team at our It’s a Knockout event in June as part of their ongoing fundraising.
“The support of businesses is vital in enabling us to raise the £9.2million we need this year to continue providing our services free of charge.”
Units close to full at £3 million Southam development
All units offered for sale at a new £3 million commercial property development in Southam have been snapped up, as work continues apace to complete the scheme.
Ten units at the 13-plot Maricott Court development, adjacent to Holywell Business Park, are now sold or under offer, with discussions ongoing with prospective tenants for the final three rental properties.
Phase one of the build, comprising the first two units, was completed in June, while units three to 10 are due for completion late summer.
The final three units are scheduled to be completed by early 2020.
Commercial property specialists ehB Reeves, based in Leamington Spa, has been marketing the units for lease and sale freehold. They range in size from 1,873 sq. ft. to 6,268 sq. ft.
Simon Hain, director at ehB Reeves, said: “We’ve had a real mix of owner/occupier and buy-to-let investor interest in the site, so we’re confident of seeing an equally diverse mix of businesses setting up in these units.
“We’ve said all along that the interest in this site is indicative of the demand for high-quality commercial properties, regardless of the fears over the potential impact of Brexit.
“The construction of the first two units is complete and we’re expecting units three to 10 to be finished before the end of the summer.
“This has been a very successful and sought-after scheme since its inception.”
The Maricott Court development is the final phase of the Holywell/Northfield Road site, which is already home to businesses including Tesco, HAB International and DYWIDAG-Systems International.

Rob Hawkins joins team at ehB Reeves
We have added a new member to the ehB Reeves team, with more than 25 years’ experience in the sector.
Rob Hawkins has been formally appointed by ehB Reeves, having previously worked for the firm on a consultancy basis.
Rob has been working in the commercial property sector in a range of roles including agency work, acquisitions, property disposals, property management and consultancy.
He joins ehB Reeves as part of its ongoing ambitions to grow its business reach, expanding the agency sector and the management portfolio, which is currently valued in excess of £100 million.
“Having worked with the team before, we know each other very well. I’ve been working with them on a consultancy basis for the last six months and joining formally is all about developing that role,” said Rob.

“I’m very much looking forward to this new role with the business as it looks to grow even further.”
Rob said the market in Warwickshire was still buoyant, despite the ongoing uncertainty over the potential impact of Brexit.
He said: “The market does dictate what we do and, in this moment, it is still very positive. Lots of deals are happening and I am sure there will be even better times ahead. It is a good time to grow an agency.
“Despite the uncertainty over Brexit, there is definitely still an appetite for good quality commercial property in the area.
“It is all connected to how much confidence people have in the market. Occupiers still need business premises, so there is still plenty of activity.”
