Machine tool specialist relocates operations

Two expanding machine tool specialists have relocated their operations from Warwickshire to Worcestershire.

Manufacturing industry suppliers WMT, formerly known as Warwick Machine Tools, and REM Systems have moved from their former base in Kenilworth to premises they have bought at Units A1 & A2 Salwarpe Business Park in Droitwich.

The new property is twice the size of the previous facility, and their workforce has already expanded by 40% as they continue to grow.

Ian Holbeche, managing director of WMT and REM, explained that, following advice from Aimee Davies at The Richards Sandy Partnership, Thursfields had handled all the complications involved in the purchase, which was for an undisclosed amount.

Katherine Hall, a solicitor in the commercial property team at Thursfields, said: “We were delighted to help what are thriving companies move to premises that are big enough to handle their expansion.

“The teams at WMT and REM were great to work with and it’s pleasing to hear that they have already expanded their workforce by 40% as they continue to grow.

“Their new premises look fantastic.  It’s good to know the property purchase and build has gone well for them and the new premises will promote their continued growth.”
