Bridges and Wrenbridge sell market-leading sustainable industrial site in Aylesford

5th September 2025

Wrenbridge and Bridges Fund Management have sold their 300,000 sq. ft. flagship project in Kent to DWS Group, having let all six units within six months of completion.

Wrenbridge and Bridges Fund Management have sold Click Aylesford, their 300,000 sq. ft. flagship project in Kent, to DWS Group, having let all six units within just six months of completion.

Occupiers at Click Aylesford include Nutra Direct, a wholesale and manufacturer of sports supplements and nutrition, Fixfast, a leading manufacturer and distributor of specialist building fasteners, RVT Group, a specialist hire company, and Headline Filters, a leading UK based manufacturer. Three of the six units were let during the construction phase, while the remaining three were let within six months of the development reaching practical completion last year.

Click Aylesford sets a new standard for sustainable industrial space, delivering outstanding energy performance, lower carbon emissions, and a healthier working environment for occupiers. Thanks to a combination of smart design, solar PV and air source heat pumps, the buildings are designed to be zero emissions in operation, saving 537 tonnes of CO2 per year versus industry benchmarks. This market-leading environmental impact is reflected in the BREEAM Excellent and EPC A+ ratings achieved across the scheme.

The scheme has now been sold to DWS, a leading European asset manager with EUR 1,010bn of assets under management (as of 30 June 2025).

Jamie Garrett, Director at Wrenbridge commented: “We are delighted to complete the sale to DWS. This marks the end of a great project and is really satisfying to see the scheme full with excellent end users. It also closes out another project with Bridges within our Click Joint Venture.”

Henry Pepper, Partner at Bridges commented: “Industrial occupiers are increasingly on the look-out for highly sustainable Grade A industrial units that enable them to reduce their operating costs and improve their environmental impact. The lettings success we have enjoyed at Click Aylesford demonstrates that we have delivered a best-in-class scheme that responds to this growing demand, and we’re delighted to see that reflected in this strong exit to one of the world’s leading asset managers.”
