Engineering firm to double size with £5m eco-friendly development
3P innovation is doubling the size of its premises again with a £5m investment at a 30,000 sq ft facility in Warwick.
The eco-friendly development is being constructed in an effort to expand the engineering firm’s UK and international operations.
3P works with global pharmaceutical and medical device businesses to help develop new products and processes. The firm says it is one of a limited number of companies globally that design and manufacture sophisticated and heavily regulated automation.
The new site is being built by Clowes Developments will take 3P’s premises to a combined total of 60,000 sq ft of both office and workshop space, allowing for 3P’s workforce to double in size.
Out of the £5m investment, at least £350,000 will be dedicated to making the building greener. The building aims to reduce its carbon footprint by adding solar panels, led-efficient lighting, a variable speed air compressor to reduce energy usage and energy-efficient air conditioning and heating.
3P’s Managing Director, Nick Brooks said: “This new chapter is an exciting one for us. After outgrowing our current purpose-built facility in just three years, we needed to invest in another premises to enable our continued growth.
“We are looking forward to housing more projects, recruiting more engineers and expanding on our new 3P pharma equipment and 3P custom automation brands as the business takes an exciting direction towards standard platforms, alongside our traditional custom automation expertise.”
Paul Shanley, Consultant at Clowes Developments, commented: “It is great to see an existing occupier at Tournament Fields thriving and expanding. We are delighted with the success 3P have experienced whilst located here and we are looking forward to helping them evolve further with their brand-new premises.”
Construction contractors, Benniman have started preparing the ground for the new development. The building is expected to be ready to move into during Q1 2023.
