Engineering firm in office move
Engineering and construction business NG Bailey has relocated its Sheffield office to Meadowhall Business Park.
The business is moving from Rutland Road to 2,000 sq ft of offices at the park.
The 70,000 sq ft park, located close to the new Ikea development and adjacent to Meadowhall Shopping Centre, is undergoing a multi million pound refurbishment by ARBA Group
It was purchased from the council in 2016 and is now being marketed by Knight Frank & Campbell & Co.
Developments at Meadowhall include the construction of a 370,000 sq ft IKEA superstore – due to open end of summer 2017, the £300m expansion of Meadowhall Shopping Centre and the completion of new supercar showrooms for Porsche and Mercedez Benz.
Andrew Morley, regional managing director at NG Bailey, said: “The NG Bailey Group is enjoying a period of sustained growth with sales of £408m in 2016 and Sheffield is a strategic, developing city for us so it was important that we maintain a profile in the city, but location was the defining factor for our new offices.
“The park provides us with well appointed offices with close access to the motorway, which is vital as NG Bailey is a nationwide operation – yet we are minutes from the city centre and located within a very rapidly expanding section of the city.”
Richard Burns, director at ARBA Group, said: “Meadowhall Business Park is undoubtedly looking like one of ARBA Group’s greatest successes to date and we will be announcing more lettings in the very near future.
“It is a great accolade for the park that NG Bailey, one of the country’s top independent engineering, construction and services companies, has become one of our tenants.
Peter Whiteley, partner at Knight Frank and head of the Sheffield office, said: “The fact that NG Bailey is being announced as a tenant at Meadowhall Business Park is good news, but there will be much more to shout about shortly as more tenants are poised to sign and occupy.
“The level of interest we are seeing for the Meadowhall Business Park space is unprecedented as far as out-of-town office lettings are concerned in South Yorkshire and we had half of Block three under offer before the client began the refurbishment.
“The flexibility of the suites, which can accommodate requirements from 2,000 sq ft to 15,000 sq ft is part of the attraction, as is the quality of refurbishment that ARBA Group has put into the development – but location is the real driver.”
