Manufacturer sweeps in with new facility lease at Stud Brook Business Park
Unit 4, a 30,000 sq ft facility at Stud Brook Business Park in Castle Donington has been let to Bucher Municipal by Clowes Developments.
Bucher Municipal, a company known for manufacturing municipal vehicles such as road sweepers, sewer cleaners, and winter maintenance machines, has signed a 10-year lease.
The new facility, set to be operational in May 2025, is custom-built to suit the company’s needs as it expands its operations across the UK.
Terry Flannery – UK after-sales manager of Bucher Municipal said: “The expansion in the range of Bucher Municipal products offered to the UK market demands larger and more flexible service centres. Stud Brook Business Park with its efficient connections makes it an ideal location. Clowes and their development team have been excellent partners, helping us adapt the building to our specific business needs. The Stud Brook facility with its modern sustainable design and high-quality construction will be a flagship service centre in our national network.”
James Richards, development director of Clowes Developments added: “Stud Brook Business Park is witnessing a sustained high volume of interest. Welcoming a leading company like Bucher Municipal to the business park is testament to it’s quality, location and benefits to businesses looking to make the move to the East Midlands. You’re literally a stone’s throw away from the M1, A50, East Midlands Airport and East Midlands Gateway Train Station. It really is a great location for business.”
NG Chartered Surveyors and FHP Property Consultants are joint agents on Stud Brook.
The deal was put together by Tim Gilbertson, director of FHP Property Consultants.
He said: “It’s great to welcome Bucher Municipal to Stud Brook Business Park and to provide them with a best-in-class facility in such a prime location. Of the nine units being speculatively built at Stud Brook Business Park in the first phase, only two now remain and there are early discussions on those which hopefully will result in the park being full at or shortly after completion of the first phase of development.
“For any occupier still looking for space in a prime location adjoining East Midlands Airport and the M1 motorway at Junction 24, now is the time to shout, although there is another phase of smaller units coming in early 2026 ranging from circa 3,000ft² to 4,500ft² where we are already in discussions with occupiers well in advance of work even starting on site.
It has been a pleasure dealing with Bucher Municipal and I wish Nigel and his team well at their fabulous new base.”
