A trio of companies dedicated to helping others run smart, clean and smooth-running workplaces has moved into their own new premises. Acerta, Logic 360 and Chemisure, all subsidiaries of Assured Group Ltd, have taken on a shared space at Platinum Park in Doncaster.
Assured Group has purchased the new-build 2,250 square foot unit to provide the three UK-wide enterprises with their first northern base.
Acerta delivers facilities management, property maintenance, small projects and contract services to clients. Logic 360 provides recruitment and workforce management support and services. And, Chemisure supplies chemicals, consumables and equipment to businesses for vehicle and property cleaning.
The aim of their new Doncaster base is to strengthen their presence in the north. Existing Assured Group bases are in Warwick, Shrewsbury and Colnbrook, near Heathrow Airport.
The unit combines an office facility for training, development and meetings and a warehouse hub to improve efficiency – and reduce the carbon footprint – of deliveries across the north.
Managing Director of Acerta, Richard George, who has led on the purchase and fit-out, said: “We wanted to establish a base in Doncaster to give us representation in the north and provide a quality working environment for our dedicated teams who mostly work remotely across 200-plus clients’ sites.
“We’re very pleased with our investment and have already seen the benefit of bringing everyone together, in terms of improved interaction and development. The team love it and we only anticipate expansion here in Doncaster.”
Acerta has designed and built every aspect of the unit’s interior, from creative concept and planning through to electrical and plumbing details. This means the office and warehouse facility also acts as a showcase for Acerta in the fitting-out of workspaces.
Richard said: “We’d welcome anyone to come and have a look at what we’ve done here. We’ve put a lot of effort into making sure our workplace is quite quirky, stylish and meets our needs. When existing and potential clients come to see us, it shows what we can offer to others.”
Platinum Park and neighbouring Jubilee Park are new developments by Priority Space, in partnership with H.G. Sites, bringing 16 new industrial and warehousing units to the region’s commercial property market.
Director of Priority Space Lee Buchanan said: “It’s great to see Assured Group investing in the purchase of one of our Doncaster units to strengthen its portfolio of workplaces across the UK.
“Opportunities for owner-occupiers are still quite rare in the commercial property market, and it remains a USP for us, as an independent developer of speculative new-builds, that we’re committed to giving businesses the option to buy, rather than let, premises.
“In our experience, we often see that owning their own premises enables many businesses to more confidently and quickly invest in growth.”
