Almac Pharma Services, a pharmaceutical development, manufacturing and packaging firm, has signed on as the latest occupier at Clowes Developments’ Stud Brook Business Park in Castle Donington.
Almac will take occupancy of Unit 2, comprising over 20,000 sq ft of new-build industrial space.
James Hurst, VP operations & Charnwood site head, Almac Pharma Services, said: “Securing additional storage space has become a critical enabler of our continued growth at the Charnwood Campus in Loughborough. The unit at Stud Brook offers a high-quality storage solution that allows us to extend our controlled condition warehousing capacity.
“Strategically located near our existing operations, the site also benefits from exceptional connectivity – positioned just off the M1 arterial motorway and in close proximity to East Midlands Airport. This makes it an ideal location to support both our current and future needs.”
Tim Gilbertson, director at FHP Property Consultants, who brokered the deal, said: “It’s fantastic to welcome a world-renowned pharmaceutical company like Almac Pharma Services to Stud Brook Business Park. Taking over 20,000 sq ft of new space, they join an impressive and expanding list of occupiers at this prime site.
“With further new units ranging from 3,000 sq ft upwards due for completion later this year, Stud Brook can accommodate a wide range of requirements — up to approximately 44,000 sq ft. Its exceptional location adjacent to East Midlands Airport and close to Junction 24 of the M1 makes it ideal for logistics, manufacturing, and service-based occupiers alike.”
Almac will now initiate a programme to fit out the facility to their bespoke specification and look to be operational in early 2026.
