An international aerospace hardware and fasteners company is relocating its UK headquarters to Derby.

Blue Sky Industries will bring its workforce of ten to a 12,000 sq ft industrial unit on Raynesway in a deal brokered by commercial property agents BB&J. The firm says it has plans to recruitment another 15 people over the next two years.

Blue Sky Industries was founded in California and has worldwide operations established in Brazil and China.

General manager Jonathan Morgan said: “We are expanding in line with growth in the aerospace industry and particularly Airbus and were keen to find new premises which would give us long-term capacity to grow our workforce and operations.

“Derby is at the heart of the UK aerospace industry with unrivalled transport links so we were keen to relocate to the city.

“We have been working with Graham Bancroft at BB&J to find suitable premises – benefiting from his local knowledge and proactive work to make things happen.

“These are the perfect premises and relocating here this Spring will be an exciting milestone for both Blue Sky Industries and our UK supply chain.”

Graham Bancroft partner at BB&J added: “Having worked closely with Blue Sky Industries to understand their requirements, and having recently taken the instruction to market this unit from Bailey Construction we thought that they would be a good match.

“They recently acquired this property with a view to achieving a letting and we were able to quickly bring both parties together to secure the deal.

“This further strengthens Derby’s credentials as the home of planes, trains and automobiles and proves that the city is at the top of the relocation wish list for supply chain businesses across the transport industries.”
