Default Joining VLookups with line breaks but ignoring blanks

I have a spreadsheet of addresses e.g.

Name Address1 Address2 Address3 Postcode

In a different workbook I performing a lookup on the Name cell and in a
merged celled below I'm bringing in the address information as a joined up
lookup with character returns so I get

Name
Address1
Address2
Address3
Postcode

I am using the following equation...

=TRIM(VLOOKUP(C9,'[B.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$8:$Q$50,2,0)&CHAR(10)&VLOOKUP(C9,'[B.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$8:$Q$50,3,0)&CHAR(10)&VLOOKUP(C9,'[B.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$8:$Q$50,4,0)&CHAR(10)&VLOOKUP(C9,'[B.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$8:$Q$50,5,0))

The problem occurs when I have an address which doesn't have any data in the
Address3 column so my result looks like...

Name
Address1
Address2

Postcode

How can I amend my formula to ignore the blank cell so that I always get
each cell content under each other with no blank row.

e.g.
Name
Address1
Address2
Address3
Postcode

or

Name
Address1
Address2
Postcode
