01Who we act for

The businesses that brief us.

From food producers and rural diversifiers to event organisers and experiential retailers — BPS acts for occupiers who need unusual commercial space and need someone to go and get it.

02Who briefs us

Every kind of occupier. One common need.

Our clients are businesses that need space that’s hard to find and harder to lease on standard terms. What they have in common: they’re operational organisations who need someone to take the property risk off their balance sheet and secure the space on their behalf.

We take the head lease as principal. The client takes a sub-lease, written around their operational needs — not a landlord’s standard form. They get the space; we carry the covenant.

03The model

We take the head lease. You take the sub-lease.

As the businesses we act for will tell you — this isn’t the conventional agency model. BPS becomes the head tenant with the landlord. Our client gets a sub-lease structured around their business, not the landlord’s preference.

04Case studies

From brief to traded.

Food processing & production

Orchard Provisions

The brief

A growing artisan food producer had outgrown a shared kitchen and needed compliant cold-store processing space within 30 miles of York — fast.

How we sourced it

We sourced an off-market 6,500 sq ft unit with integral cold storage and 3-phase power that had never been advertised.

How it was structured

BPS took a 10-year head lease from the landlord and granted the producer a flexible 5-year sub-lease, carrying the head-lease relationship ourselves.

The outcome

The producer was operational within ten weeks, with room to scale and none of the head-lease risk on their balance sheet.

Leisure

Helicopter Glamping

The brief

Helicopter Glamping had three fully-converted ex-RAF Westland Sea King helicopter glamping pods — each fitted out to sleep four to five — and needed established holiday-park homes able to host a genuinely unusual unit. Approaching parks directly, they'd struggled to find the right fit.

How we sourced it

Acting for the operator, we went out to UK holiday parks and campsites, qualified sites against the pods' access, crane, services and planning needs, and placed two of the three — Sea Kings ZE369 and XZ589 — at North Yorkshire Water Park in Wykeham.

How it was structured

BPS took the head lease on the pitches from the park and granted Helicopter Glamping a sub-licence to site and operate the pods — so the park deals with one creditworthy contracting party in BPS, and the operator has a single point of contact.

The outcome

Two helicopter glamping pods are now sited and welcoming guests at North Yorkshire Water Park. The third — Sea King ZE370 — is available now: see the live opportunity.

05What clients say

In their words.

“
We'd been searching for the right processing unit for eight months. BPS found one within six weeks — and handled the entire lease so we could focus on getting operational.

“
The head-lease model was the thing that unlocked it for us. The landlord wanted a long-term covenant we couldn't give; BPS stepped in, took the head lease, and we got a sub-lease on sensible terms.

“
We had a very specific requirement — a glamping site with planning consent already in place. BPS went completely off-market and found it. I don't think we could have done it any other way.
