Despite being all-time record goal scorer at primary school, Nick Hosking didn’t make the grade as a professional footballer. But Leicester City’s loss was our gain. These days, Nick puts his energy and expertise into high-profile property schemes on his patch.
Obtaining a landmark letting for landlord Aviva by advising them in the letting of Heritage Gate to Derby City Council, the city’s largest office letting for a decade. This assisted with the council’s temporary relocation while £34m redevelopment works were carried out at the council house.
Since having children, Nick doesn’t get as much free time as he used to, but he still enjoys watching Leicester City FC when he can and escaping the UK for sunnier climates. One of the bravest things he has ever done was to jump out of a plane 14,000 feet above Langar airfield for a charity sky dive … despite his fear of heights!

The Challenge: Over 25 years, Innes England has acted on behalf of multiple owners – Evans of Leeds, F & C REIT, Harworth and Hortons Estates handling the adjacent industrial estates at Derby Distribution Centre, Sinfin Central and more recently Sinfin Commercial Park. Derby Distribution Centre, the largest second-hand warehouse in Derby, presented a unique challenge to market and let with accommodation ranging from 80,000 sq ft to 400,000 sq ft of flexible second-hand space. Sinfin Commercial Park comprises a 30 acre site consisting of some 21 units from 3,000 sq ft up to 207,000 sq ft.
The Challenge: Following the liquidation of the previous tenant, Units C and D at Melton Mowbray Commercial Park, totalling 13,371 sq ft, were left vacant. The challenge was to quickly secure a new tenant for the space, minimising the void period and ensuring the property’s modernised facilities were effectively showcased to attract interest in a competitive market.
