Training company expansion prompts relocation

A company that provides training for aspiring electricians has moved to new Coventry-based offices.

Trade Skills 4U, which provides the widest range of electrician courses, training and qualifications in the UK, recently made the move to 15,000 sq ft of space at Rowan House on Westwood Business Park.

The new space in Coventry is the first in the Midlands and has enabled the company, which last year trained over 10,000 people, to link its expanding network of offices across England and Wales.
Christos Panayiotou, marketing director, Trade Skills 4U said: “We had several considerations to take into account when choosing the location of our new premises, including location and facilities.

“We wanted somewhere which could be easily reached from our other nine offices across the country.

“We also wanted to pick a place that bordered on a large conurbation. We weighed up Birmingham, Leicester, Northampton and Milton Keynes, but in the end, the logistical advantages of Coventry swayed our decision.”

The offices were marketed by commercial property specialists Holt Commercial, which has offices in Coventry and Birmingham.

Nick Holt, director, Holt Commercial, said: “This is an excellent deal all round and it’s great to welcome a high-profile training organisation to Coventry and it’s great to see that the city is such a pull for organisations such as Trade Skills 4U.

“The market for good quality offices in the region has held up well and this is another very good example of that.”
