Micro-P Expands At Chineham Park

Micro-Peripherals Ltd, one of the oldest and largest distributors of IT and technology products in the UK reseller market, has expanded at MEPC Chineham Park, Basingstoke's leading business location.

Micro-P has moved from 1 Lindenwood to 1 Elmwood, having increased its Basingstoke workforce by 31% from 130 to 170 employees in the last year.

Mark Kahr, director for Micro-Peripherals Ltd, said: “Micro-P’s business has grown exponentially over the last four years and with our ever expanding workforce, we found ourselves needing to relocate to larger offices.

“We have been in and around Chineham for over 30 years as a business and 20 of those have been on Chineham Park. We see no reason to leave and the park has always been able to meet our needs and once again found us larger offices to allow us to make our third move onsite.

“The newly refurbished offices that we have moved to are state of the art and reflect the company we have become. The park itself is by far the best Basingstoke has to offer in terms of location to both the M3 and M4 motorways and the open areas and green spaces make it a pleasure to work in. We are confident that Chineham Park will continue to support the ever growing business and brand of Micro-P."

Richard Hawkes, estate manager for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “Being able to support the growth of one of our longest occupiers is good news for Chineham Park and for Basingstoke. It is essential that successful companies like Micro-P remain at Chineham Park, creating more job opportunities and attracting new talent to the area. Micro-P has been on the park for 20 years and during this period has relocated onsite three times. On this occasion, Micro-P needed to move quickly and we were able to facilitate and manage a bespoke refurbishment onsite.”
