Zapp targets growth with new HQ

A STEEL stockholder is looking to achieve its growth aims with a move to its newly refurbished UK headquarters.

Zapp GB is relocating from Parkway Close in Sheffield to a new 22,400 sq ft site at Thorncliffe Distribution Centre.

Mark Wragg, service centre manager at Zapp GB, said: “The new headquarters is the ideal tool to enable us to reach the next level of growth.

“The building is in an area that puts us in close proximity to key suppliers and manufacturers offering niche products, so it’s the perfect geographical location for the company and its clients.”

The deal was brokered by Knight Frank on behalf of landlord Threadneedle.

The former home of a Virgin Media database, the modern industrial premises in Chapeltown sits on its own self-contained site.

Currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment programme overseen by landlord Threadneedle, the building is expected to be ready for Zapp to move into by the end of July.

Knight Frank partner Tim Bottrill said: “These modern industrial premises are based at a popular and well-established business park, just minutes from both the M1 and the M18 motorways.

“Thorncliffe offers businesses an excellent environment as well as strong labour, supplier and transport links. As Zapp has identified, these selling points make it an ideal space to showcase services and products – and expand the business further.”
