In an office building to the East of Redditch town centre
business is booming for one enterprising company harnessing the
skills of senior executives to create a thriving new environment
for growth.
Lake Chemicals and Minerals recently took 4000 sq ft at 3 Paper
Mill Drive to reflect its growing status, acting as the sales and
distribution arm for overseas companies wanting to sell to
manufacturing companies in the UK and Ireland.
King Sturge acted on behalf of the landlord, SAM Property
Company, which also secured a new lease on a further 4,000 sq
ft to a leading global petrochemical company.
Charles Warrack a senior associate at King Sturge says "In the
current economic climate it is very uplifting to see businesses
continue to grow and expand. The building has attracted some
top local companies and as a modern office building with a good
quality working environment it provides a very smart headquarters
for organisations."
Steven Cartlidge, director of Lake Chemicals and Minerals sees
its relocation to 3 Paper Mill Drive as an essential move to
attract the best employees and provide the right image and
surroundings for visiting customers.
"We were essentially looking for a quality space in a quality
building with good links to the local road networks and 3 Paper
Mill ticked all the boxes. Our business has grown from two people
when we set up in 2003 to 15 at the present time and we are
continuing to expand.
"Conducting business on the international stage, it is important
our customers perceive us in the right light. We often have
customers and suppliers from around the world travelling to us for
training. Our business employs top senior technical people
and we are looking to attract some of the brightest young graduates
to train, so a quality working environment is crucial to getting
people to see a long term future with the company." Adds
Steven.
Currently with a turnover of £6.5 million and ambitions to
increase this to £20 million by 2020, Lake Chemicals and
Minerals are geared up for growth and are recruiting another two to
the team in the coming weeks.
A further 4000 sq ft is available at 3 Paper Mill. For
