Global aerospace firm to create 25 jobs at Castle Donington

An international aerospace company has moved into the UK as part of a multi-million dollar global expansion.

TP Aerospace, which has its headquarters in Copenhagen and also operates out of offices in Dubai, Hamburg, Las Vegas, Melbourne, Orlando and Singapore, is leasing units on Trent Lane Industrial Estate in Castle Donington in a deal brokered by NG Chartered Surveyors and Mather Jamie.

The firm, which provides wheel and brake systems, says it will create 25 jobs at the site.

The firm reported revenues of $64.4m last year, and expects to exceed $100m in 2019 and double its revenue over the next few years.

Preshan Ambawatta, technical director of TP Aerospace, said: “We’re very excited that our UK adventure will start off in the East Midlands, as it allows us to be close to some important customers and puts us in a position to expand our service and brand to other potential customers in the region. We always aim to be in close proximity to our customers, so being close to East Midlands Airport has been a defining factor in our choice of location.”

Sunny Landa, director of joint agent NG Chartered Surveyors, said: “This was a great deal to work on and shows, once again, that landlords who are willing to invest in their portfolio by carrying out refurbishments in line with a tenant’s needs will be rewarded with strong rents and a happy occupier.”

Alex Reid, director of Mather Jamie, said: “We are glad to have been involved in locating a local site for TP Aerospace as part of its global expansion. We swiftly arranged this deal, at a good price, for these modern warehouse units in Castle Donington, conveniently situated near East Midlands Airport, the M1 and the East Midlands’ major cities.”
