Grant UK’s head office has moved to a new premises in Swindon, Wiltshire. The new site was formally opened on 3 November 2022 by Tim Pollard, principal of Pollard and Pollard.
The company’s previous office was located in Devizes, Wiltshire where its sales, training, technical, marketing and distribution teams have been based since 2003. Grant UK’s new facilities in Swindon are considerably larger, totaling over 80,000ft2.
The 10-month renovation project involved the entire site, installing new racking in the warehouses, creating workspaces for employees and transforming one of the units into training rooms and practical assessment areas for the training academy.
An integral part of the renovation project was sustainability and Grant UK has implemented numerous environmentally friendly measures throughout the site. A biomass heating system has been installed which is providing the heating and hot water for the site. In addition, 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.
Paul Wakefield, Grant UK’s managing director, said: “Our move to Swindon marks an exciting new chapter for Grant UK. 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.”
