Browne Jacobson advises Howard Farms on phased sale of Mulberry Logistics Park site
UK and Ireland law firm Browne Jacobson has advised landowning partnership Howard Farms on the phased sale of Mulberry Logistics Park in South Yorkshire.
With the site located on the border of Doncaster and the Bassetlaw district, Mulberry Logistics Park gives businesses direct access to the trunk road network leading to Doncaster, Sheffield and Nottingham.
The firm advised Howard Farms on the initial conditional option agreements and sale of the first two phases of Mulberry Logistics Park’s developments – beginning in January 2021 and finalising in July 2024.
Founded in 1888, Howard Farms is a Nottinghamshire-based rural family business, providing food and renewable energy across its various sites. The sale of the first two phases of the site to Mulberry Commercial Developments marks the multi-disciplinary developer’s expansion in South Yorkshire.
The Browne Jacobson team comprised of Real Estate Partner Robert Wofinden and associate Sam Trevorrow.
East Midlands-based land development consultancy Mather Jamie acted as the appointed land agent for the sale. Both Browne Jacobson and Mather Jamie and will continue to support Howard Farms throughout the third and final remaining phase of development.
Robert Wofinden, Partner at Browne Jacobson, said:
“This has been a fantastic piece of work for the firm, and we’re pleased to have supported a farming partnership like Howard Farms which makes a truly positive impact with their work in the food production and green energy sectors.”
Andy Howard, Company Owner of Howard and Co. Farming Ltd. said:
“We’d like to express our thanks to Rob and Sam from Browne Jacobson for their support and Gary Owens from Mather Jamie – this has been a landmark transaction for us, and they’ve worked hard to ensure a smooth and efficient process over the last few years.”
