Grant UK has moved to new premises with the company’s Head Office, warehousing and Training Academy now based in Swindon, Wiltshire. The new site includes offices and storage facilities that are three times larger than its previous premises.
The new facilities total over 80,000sqft. In addition to providing greater office spaces and significantly increased on-site storage capacity, the new site has also enabled Grant UK’s Training Academy to be expanded as well.
As part of the move, the company has implemented numerous environmentally friendly measures throughout the site. A biomass heating system has been installed which is providing heating and hot water, and 768 solar panels and storage batteries have been installed as part of the 303kWp Solar PV system which has been fitted on the roof of both units. The system will fulfil all the company’s electricity demand while also feeding renewable electricity into the grid.
Paul Wakefield, Grant UK’s Managing Director said: “Moving premises is a significant step for any business to make, but the hard work that has gone into creating our new larger facilities will enable Grant UK and the team to settle into a site which will support our continued growth for many, many years to come. The road to a cleaner, low carbon future will be full of opportunities and this move to new facilities will ensure that we as a company can continue to deliver the high-quality products and services that our customers have come to expect from Grant.”
