Dutch-owned Farm Electronics Ltd, which makes ventilation and refrigeration crop storage equipment, has moved from two sites in Grantham to just one on the town’s Mallard Business Park on Trent Road.
The new premises give the engineering firm almost 16,000 sq ft of warehouse and office accommodation on its own independent site within Park’s wider secure and gated setting.
Mallard Business Park is managed by Grantham Estates, which manages more than 200 properties across the East Midlands and Eastern region.
There are four units in total at Mallard Business Park where Farm Electronics Ltd joins operators and distributors from a range of sectors, including stone & porcelain tiling, sewing & crafting, and clothing care tools & accessories.
Adam Fryer, Commercial Director at Farm Electronics, said: “Our search had been low key for the past couple of years. While not retained as our agent, when Eddisons alerted us to availability at Mallard Business Park and brokered the introduction to Grantham Estates, it became clear that Unit 1 was the obvious location for the next phase of our planned business growth – which already sees us adding two new recruits this month to our current headcount of 13.”
James Moore, Estates Manager at Grantham Estates, added: “The park’s proximity to the A1 is one of its strongest features and, as such, Unit 1 attracted a number of enquiries after we began to market it last spring.
“However, following Eddisons introducing Farm Electronics to us, it was clear that this firm was in the best position to become the new tenant. That negotiations proceeded swiftly from there and concluded before the end of the year is a testament to the professionalism and focus of all parties involved.”
