How We Help Northwood

Northwood Hygiene Products Limited is a leading family owned converter and supplier of hygiene paper products with a group occupational real estate portfolio in excess of 1M sq ft across 7 sites.

The business is in a period of dynamic growth mainly through corporate acquisitions. With this growth comes real estate pressures and decisions, integrating new properties into the existing portfolio and ensuring efficient occupation across all sites. Northwood appointed RED as its “outsourced Real Estate Director” to provide expertise, market knowledge and as a resource to allow the MD and the FD to focus on their own roles in the knowledge that real estate issues will be dealt with by a team who understand their business.

RED have carried out the following jobs for Northwood as part of their role:

  • Strategic review of portfolio
  • Property acquisitions
  • Rent reviews
  • Lease renewals
  • Coordination of major building surveys across entire portfolio
  • Coordination of environmental surveys and works
  • Appraisal of new development and acquisition opportunities
  • Engagement with local authorities
  • Investigation of grant funding
  • Real Estate due diligence on corporate acquisitions

RED provide a service to Northwood which would typically be carried out by a full time in-house property director. Northwood and RED have developed a relationship of trust and this has resulted in Northwood benefitting from a team of professionals whilst having a single point of contact.

What Northwood Say

Property issues (and opportunities) were growing in line with our expanding business. The issues were becoming a drain on my time and their complexity demanded expertise. I appointed RED to advice on all aspects of our growing property portfolio. RED have integrated into my business with ease and their service is professional, flexible and personal. They are our trusted advisor on all things property.
