Pearson’s helps Netball UK secure a new commercial unit

Posted on May 16, 2025

At Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers, we love seeing businesses grow, and Netball UK’s latest expansion is a perfect example of how ambition, strategic planning, and expert legal guidance can lead to success.

About Netball UK

Founded in 2000 by managing director Debbie Hallas, Netball UK has established itself as the country’s leading online retailer for netball gear, from trainers and clothing to netballs and expert advice. Whether you're a school team, a club, or a Super League player, Netball UK has been at the heart of the sport for over two decades.

Now, as the company celebrates 25 years in business, it has taken a major step forward with the acquisition of a larger unit at Prince of Wales Business Park, Vulcan Street, Oldham. This move isn’t just about getting more space - it’s about creating a stronger foundation for future growth, improving efficiency, and enhancing the shopping experience for netball enthusiasts across the UK.

The newly acquired commercial property - a modern, detached warehouse/workshop spanning 6,942 square feet was purchased for £595,000. Perfectly suited to support Netball UK’s growing operations. Located in a well-established industrial park, the new premises offer fantastic facilities that will allow the business to scale up and continue providing top-notch service to customers.

Helping Netball UK secure its new home was Pearson Solicitors’ commercial property expert, Gary Jones. With his legal expertise, the acquisition process was smooth and efficient, allowing the company to focus on what they do best - serving the netball community. Industrial and commercial property specialists Breakey & Nuttall also played a key role in advising on the transaction.

Gary expressed his excitement about supporting Netball UK during this pivotal moment:

"We are delighted to have supported Netball UK in this exciting phase of their growth. Debbie and her team have built a fantastic business, and this expansion is a testament to their success. We wish them all the best in their new premises."

For Debbie Hallas and the Netball UK team, this expansion is about more than just moving into a bigger space - it’s about continuing a legacy:

"This move is a major step forward for Netball UK as we celebrate 25 years in business. Moving just a few hundred yards to a much larger unit allows us to continue our growth and better serve our customers as ‘the netball experts.’ We are proud to be based in Oldham and are pleased to have found a new home that meets our needs today and will support our future growth.”
