The company was founded in 1899 by William Morrison and is listed on the London Stock Exchange, being part of the F TSE 10 0 Index. The Morrison family currently owns approximately 10% of the company. Until 2004, Morrisons store locations were primarily focused in the North of England, but with the takeover of Safeway in that year, the company s presence increased significantly in the South of England, Wales and Scotland. The company has approximately 500 stores across England, Wales and Scotland. Morrisons originally employed Bury Point to service their supermarket chain, however today the unit serves the convenience shop chain McColls, since signing a supply deal with Morrisons in 2017. McColls, which has 1,300 convenience shops and 350 newsagents across the country, will be exclusively supplied with around 400 Safeway own-brand products. The chain will also benefit from Morrisons fresh food offer, including its bakery and sandwiches, as well as benefitting from the Bradford-based supermarket s corporate purchasing power. The revival of the Safeway brand comes more than 13 years after Morrisons bought the supermarket in a 3bn deal.
10 OCCUPATIONAL MARKET The North West occupational market has remained buoyant, despite the result of the EU referendum, thanks to the continued growth of online sales which is driving strong occupier demand. Online retailers have accounted for a significant proportion of take up in the North West since 2016, acquiring a combination of refurbished second-hand and new build stock. There is also a healthy local demand from both distribution and manufacturing sectors, particularly in North and East Manchester close to the M62. The North West saw one of the highest growth rates in the UK in 2017 with prime rents now at 6.50 per sq ft on Trafford Park. This should see the rents for good quality secondary space rise as a result of the continued demand and lack of supply.

11 INVESTMENT COMPARABLES Aside from some uncertainty caused by the Brexit vote, the North West industrial investment market has remained robust with pricing achieved seen to be above Brexit levels in many cases. Demand has remained very strong for logistics assets due to the continued lack of stock. Those assets that have been sold or are available across the North West, are presenting investors and developers with very good opportunities for rental growth.
