Having spent some time in old premises, we knew something bigger was a must to enable us to grow. Larger stock capacity was needed, additional directors’ offices and an operations room that could bear future growth would be ideal. To complete the wish list, we increase the size of the meeting room to give the engineers their own space too that could also be used for staff training, and meetings.

There wasn’t going to be anything meeting all those needs that we could just walk in to, so we knew the hands on hard work had to start.

There’s no shortage of challenges when trying to maintain smooth operational performance alongside moving and fitting out a new space, but we worked as a team and got stuck in together.

Having found an empty industrial unit, and by empty we mean 4 walls with the bare minimum facilities, we turned it into everything we wanted. What’s more, we did all the work ourselves.

• Structural walls & a mezzanine floor - we did it
• Stud walls, complete with insulation and dry lining - we did it
• Suspended ceiling - you get the picture
• Floors - ok, one exception, we didn’t do the carpet ourselves
• Power & lighting
• Data & media
• Security & fire alarm
• Central heating & AC

It was quite the undertaking, and we were so relieved and proud once works had been completed.

The works have met all our needs and given us that extra space needed to grow into the future.
