Private hospital provider makes move to £9m premises
Private hospital provider Spire Healthcare is preparing to move into its new £9m premises at Worcester Six Business Park.
When the company moves to the 72,500 sq ft unit at the £120m business site, it will provide jobs in customer and professional services, distribution services and archive management.
The healthcare company has 39 hospitals and eight clinics, as well as a specialist oncology centre across England, Wales and Scotland, providing diagnostics, in-patient, daycase and out-patient care.
It also has a national distribution centre at Stonebridge Cross, Droitwich, where its 60,000 sq ft operation employs 75 people.
Gerard Ludlow, director of Stoford Developments, which is delivering the 1.5 million sq ft Worcester Six Business Park, said: “We’re pleased to have achieved practical completion for Spire Healthcare and it comes at a pivotal time for the business park.
“The past few months have been busy at Worcester Six and we’ve made several announcements regarding new occupiers, which demonstrates the business need for the site. As each new business prepares to move in, it means new jobs and a strengthening commitment to investing in the area.”
Mat Mason, group supply chain director at Spire Healthcare, said: “As we prepare to move into our new site at Worcester Six, these are exciting times for our Supply Chain function. The site will give us improved facilities and additional capacity and resilience in terms of warehousing capability to ensure we continue to provide a first class customer service to all our sites in the Spire Healthcare Group.”
Last month, Stoford announced that work had begun on a £20m environmentally friendly development for Kohler Mira, parent company of Mira Showers. It was the fourth occupier to announce its move to Worcester Six in the last few months.
