Manufacturer takes 25,000 sq ft at Notts business park

A supplier of storage tanks and covers is set to relocate to a 25,000 sq ft production and office unit on Castlewood Business Park in Nottinghamshire.

CST Industries says the move from Alfreton will streamline its manufacturing processes and safeguard jobs.

The new unit is being built by Clowes Developments and CST will move in towards the end of the year.

James Richards, development director with Clowes Developments, said: ”This is a major new deal that brings a world-leading operator in its market to Castlewood.

“This is just one of a series of next generation units we are bringing to the business park and look forward to working with CST Industries both now and in the future.

“We firmly believe that demand for best in class distribution, logistics, production and manufacturing units in the best locations will remain buoyant during the current year and into 2021.

“When the economy bounces back, we want to ensure we have the right units available to fulfil the needs of companies like CST Industries and other blue chip businesses looking for the very best locations.”

Rachael Hallam from CST Industries, said: “This facility gives us a new, more energy efficient building and will also give us an excellent opportunity to streamline our processes.”

Heather Dixon, partner at law firm Geldards, added: “Coming at a time when we are all having to cope with unique, worrying and difficult circumstances, this is a magnificent ‘win’ for all parties involved. With the help of Clowes Developments’ professional team, and many more behind the scenes, it has been a tonic to be able to focus on concluding this deal.”

Agent Tim Gilbertson of FHP said: “It is always impressive to conclude a deal at any time, but given the current economic circumstances, the continued growth and development of Castlewood is remarkable with a number of further new units planned.”
