The historic printworks is among 90 lots of residential and commercial property and development land, being sold by property auctioneer Eddisons at two auctions, with a total guide price of £5.6m.
The building is among the lots included in the Leeds auction, at Elland Road Stadium on 22 October. Wyndeham closed the Gait site as part of a restructure of its sheetfed and web operations.
The warehouse and offices buildings were originally used as the 1st Lincoln Artillery Barracks. The Grade II listed building, covers 2,797sqm, with the entire site spanning around 4,000sqm.
Wyndeham Gait, which had been operating in Grimsby since 1860, produced train timetables, automotive brochures and education literature, as well as Grimsby Town FC's match-day programme The Mariner.
It suffered from the overall reduction in demand for sheetfed printing, leading to what Wyndeham Group chief executive Paul Utting called at the time, “a hard choice about where to reduce our capacity”.
Rob Limbert, director and auctioneer at Eddisons, said: “The former Wyndeham Gait site is a great development opportunity and with a guide price that is now significantly lower than the price it was initially put on the market at earlier this year. Needless to say it’s generating quite a lot of interest.”
“As ever with our auctions, there is a very wide range of properties and sites up for grabs and we expect this one to attract large numbers of potential buyers, bidding both in person at the event and remotely,” said Limbert.
