Cirrus Logistics has acquired a lease on a building totaling over 1,500 sqft in the Cedarwood area of the park, following their acquisition by a new holding company CentriQ Group Ltd. The CentriQ Group also own VoiteQ Ltd, the UK's leading supplier of voice-directed warehousing solutions to the retail, distribution and logistics industry, which also has a blue chip client base and is associated with many high profile company operations including Sainsbury’s, Gist, Next and John Lewis.
Frank Heald, chairman of all CentriQ Group companies, said: “We were looking for suitable accommodation to support recent growth and the future expansion of Cirrus Logistics. We believe that Chineham Park more than fulfils our business needs.
“The park is in a premier spot with state of the art facilities and is ideally placed as a location for the Cirrus headquarters and as a southern office for VoiteQ.”
Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “We are delighted to welcome Cirrus Logistics, another top performing company, to Chineham Park where we wish them every success. Completing another letting this year reaffirms our position as Basingstoke’s leading business destination.”
MEPC Chineham Park has won the Sustainable Business of the Year award at Basingstoke and Deane’s Inspire 09 business awards for the second year running. Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “It is a great honour to win such a prestigious award twice in a row. This award reflects the hard work of MEPC. None of this would have an impact without our occupiers who catch the coaches, segregate their waste when recycling and help us protect the environment, so this is their award to”.
Crouzet has moved into the Cedarwood area of the park, following a growth in business.
Valerie Noens, global sales support for the UK at Crouzet Ltd, said: “At Crouzet we were looking for the right place to locate to, it had to be somewhere that would facilitate the driving forward of our business and we found that at Chineham Park.
“Chineham Park is an excellent location for our UK head office, the road, rail and air links that we can benefit from on the park are essential to our business as is the professional service provided by MEPC along with the prestigious offices from which our team operates.”
Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “Chineham Park is the leading destination for business in Basingstoke. To be able to welcome a company like Crouzet who has experienced growth and required new offices is good news for everybody.
“This globally recognised company is a leader in its field and demonstrates once again that Basingstoke in general and Chineham Park in particular is very successful at attracting top performing companies.”
