GSF Creates 11 Jobs In New Bridgwater Unit Rented From Craigard

Craigard commercial property syndicate lets Grade A Bridgwater trade counter to rapidly expanding GSF

GSF Car Parts has created 11 new jobs in Bridgwater after renting a Grade A trade counter from commercial property syndicates specialist Craigard.

GSF has moved into the former Easy Bathrooms unit, Unit 4 at Bridgwater Trade Park. Work started in February 2026 with the launch on April 13 2026.

The 7,130sq ft (662.42 sq m) unit has an EPC A Rating – the highest possible. Craigard invested £1.5 million in refurbishments – stripping it back to frame and rebuilding it – after acquiring the site in 2018.

Bridgwater Trade Park is a prominent industrial site in the town. It fronts the A38 just 1.5 miles from the M5 Junction 23, offering access to Bristol and Taunton. Hinkley Point is also close by.

Unit 4 is one of just a few Grade A industrial premises that were available in Bridgwater at the end of last year. Features include 5.6-metre clear minimum eaves height (rising to 8.3 metres), two full-height electric loading doors, and 10 parking spaces.

GSF is opening 20 new branches – including Bridgwater – in 2026. The company grew by more than 20% in each of the last three years (23% in Q1 2026). Last July GSF celebrated a landmark 200 branches; it now has 214 outlets.

Craigard Managing Director David Foster said: “Our building is an excellent location for GSF. It is the right size for their business model and a great quality new unit with good prominence.

“Working with our former tenant Easy Bathrooms, which was in the best interests for everyone, has created a great outcome for all parties.

“We now have a new committed tenant and the deal gives us a fixed rental uplift in 2027, providing us with a significant reversion at that point and also giving GSF certainty of where their rent will be from then on,” he added.

Hampshire-based Craigard has an £85 million portfolio comprising around 20 assets under management. It has raised £100 million in private equity and exited 28 syndicates with a proven track record of delivering strong returns.

Craigard always co-invests in its syndicates. The team is currently working on a series of commercial property syndication opportunities.

Unit 4 was marketed by global real estate advisers Avison Young.
