YORK Business Park has secured a new five year lease from car repair firm Direct Finish.

The deal on the 3,819 sq ft premises was completed by Leeds-based Holder & Co, which was formed in February this year.

DTZ acted for the landlords Brightsea S.A.R.L.

Holder & Co has also sourced four acres of land at Haigh Park Road, Stourton, in Wiltshire, for Manheim Auctions Limited.

Owen Holder, founding director of Holder & Co, said: "I am delighted to have completed these two deals successfully and to report that Holder & Co is thriving in the ever-improving Yorkshire commercial property market.

"The company is especially strong on the occupational side and the company has now completed three significant deals since we formed in February.

"This represents the start of an exciting journey for the new business and I have personally been overwhelmed by the support for my new venture.
