A PROPERTY firm has bought the warehouse leased by Amazon in Gourock as part of a £55m purchase package.

US investor Ardent’s UK business has completed a cash deal to acquire a whole host of real estate assets from M7 Real Estate.

It includes the 297,231 sq ft Faulds Park 'fulfilment centre'.

The announcement of the deal stated that M7 will continue to manage the assets on behalf of the new owners.

Amazon signed an extended lease for the site in 2019 after a row with M7 saw the retail giant threatened with eviction, before a peace deal was agreed.

Around 500 staff work for Amazon at the distribution centre.
