Adderstone Group, has expanded its commercial portfolio after acquiring the Broadgates Retail Park in Hexham, which includes a B&M and Marks & Spencer store, in a multi-million pound deal.

Broadgates at Maiden’s Walk in Hexham is situated on the old Auction Mart site, comprising 1.87 hectares (4.57 acres) of the town centre.

The site was developed in the early 1990s by previous owners, Cooperative Group to provide a modern food store and car park before a long leasehold interest was granted to Marks & Spencer in 2008. In 2016 a store was built for B&M Retail adjacent to the Marks & Spencer store.
