SINA Medical Glass has signed a 15-year lease on an industrial building to the rear of Glass Futures with the support of law firm Wright Hassall.

Wright Hassall worked on behalf of the company to agree the lease for the site, which is now owned by St Helens Borough Council. 

Andrew Jones, a partner in the commercial real estate team at Wright Hassall, said: "We are extremely pleased to help SINA Medical Glass secure a lease for its new site. 

"There were a number of complexities in relation to the site which we were able to navigate on behalf of the client.

"This included working closely with St Helens Borough Council which was purchasing the site as part of its investment into the glass industry in the area, and advising on change of use planning permission ahead of the lease being agreed. 

"St Helens has a long history in glass manufacturing, so it is fantastic to support such an exciting business as it looks to boost investment in this area, create local employment opportunities and grow the economy in the North West."
