Road to growth clear for windscreen replacement firm
WINDSCREEN replacement firm, National Windscreens, has expanded its presence in Birmingham with the opening of a new fitting centre in Aston.
The firm has agreed a 15-year lease for unit 4, Cheston Road Industrial Estate – a 3,204 sq ft unit owned and managed by London & Cambridge Properties (LCP).
The new fitting centre includes an Advanced Driving Assistance Systems Centre – a one-stop shop for both windscreen replacement and calibration.
The opening of the new centre has seen 12 staff move to the new site from its previous office in Phoenix Park, Birmingham.
George Douglas, National Windscreens’ regional chairman, said there was now sufficient capacity to enable the company, which has 108 fitting centres across the UK, to further expand over the next 12 months.
“We’ve invested a significant amount in getting our new, purpose-built centre ready and as part of a programme of continuous improvement we are delighted that the Birmingham opportunity has come to fruition,” he said.
“By relocating to this larger purpose-built unit, we plan to build on our significant growth and create additional positions in the Midlands. It offers a perfect opportunity to enhance our service delivery in the city and at the same time provide more jobs for the region.”
Paula James, industrial lettings manager for LCP, said: “We’re very pleased to welcome to our Cheston Road site a well-regarded national company that is helping to create local jobs in Birmingham.”
