Industrial tool supplier expands in Derby

United Tooling Solutions Group (UTS), the UK-based precision engineering and industrial supplier, has moved to new premises in Derby in a deal brokered by Salloway Property Consultants.

The company has over 200 years’ experience in the sector, and thanks to recent expansion has become a leading distributor and supply partner in the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, rail and power generation industries.

Now, its new business UTS Jaymac has moved into the previous home of Rexcel UK on the Millennium Business Centre on Millennium Way.

UTS sales director Ed Thomas said: “We are a national engineering and industrial supplies company which has also been acquiring businesses which supply power tools, hand tools and workwear to the trade industry.

“Jaymac Tools which was based on London Road was acquired earlier this year because it complimented our business to trade arm along with giving us the footprint to expand our industrial supplies operation within Derbyshire and the surrounding areas.

“We had a desire to look to move Jaymac Tools and felt that the Pride Park unit gave us the expansion room with a fantastic location to showcase our trade shop unrivalled in the Derby area.

“We read of Salloway Property Consultants’ pedigree on their website and got in touch with Hugo Beresford who found the site which was the best fit and was very helpful.”

Beresford, a commercial property surveyor at Salloway, added: “It was a pleasure to work with UTS and find a site which was perfect for their needs.

“They are a great company and are clearly going from strength to strength.”
