Purpose-built HQ allows manufacturer to unite operations under one roof
Ventilation manufacturer, EnviroVent, has relocated to a purpose-built zero carbon headquarters in Harrogate.
The new 61,000 sq ft premises on Harrogate West Business Park is the culmination of a ten-month build project. It brings together EnviroVent’s manufacturing facility, warehousing, head office and training suite into one base.
The build was carried out by Skipton-based construction company Sutcliffe Construction, working alongside developer of the new business park, Teakwood Developments.
York & North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership also supported the project with an allocation from the Government’s Getting Building Fund.
Andy Makin, managing director of EnviroVent, said “It is fantastic for the company to be together under one roof in our new zero carbon headquarters.
“We are truly committed to good environmental practices throughout our business and these purpose-built premises allow EnviroVent to operate on an even more sustainable basis.
“With much larger premises, we have room to expand and ambitious plans. Working alongside our parent company Soler & Palau, we fully expect to grow our brand, protecting and creating employees roles, benefiting our customers, our suppliers and the wider community.”
James Sutcliffe, Sutcliffe Construction’s managing director said: “We’re pleased to complete this sustainable new HQ building for Teakwood Developments and EnviroVent.
“Our credentials in building manufacturing and warehousing buildings across the North of England are strong and the quality of the finish on this building both inside and out is something we’re particularly proud of.”
Daniel Martin, director of Teakwood Developments, added: It’s been a long road but so rewarding to reach the end, providing a facility that we can all be proud of.
“It secures the future of this fantastic business in Harrogate, providing a state of the art facility, with the all-important expansion capabilities.”
EnviroVent’s head office will be the base for its more than 260 employees, which has involved the relocation of staff from two existing premises on Hornbeam Business Park in Harrogate.
The new building has many energy efficient initiatives. These include solar panels, renewable energy sources such as air source heat pumps and the latest mechanical ventilation heat recovery system to ensure high levels of indoor air quality.
The premises also feature optimum building design for insulation, electric charging points for vehicles, as well as LED lighting units and responsive lighting to minimise energy use.
