Family-run food wholesaler, Waterside Food Services, is set to relocate to new 32,500 sq ft headquarters in Branston.
The move will be completed towards the end of the year and follows a period of growth for the food business.
The new facility called Unit 4 Premier Park on Lichfield Road in Branston, means the Morgan family will now run their entire business under one roof.
Chris Morgan, managing director of Waterside Food Services, said the move was strategic and would enable the business to keep supplying high-quality products across the region.
He said: “Right now, Waterside Food Services operates across three separate sites and I want to bring everything and everyone together.
“This is a huge operation as we close sites and gradually moved into Unit 4 Premier Park – but it is an extremely exciting time for us.
“All the staff are looking forward to being in one, larger unit and I know this will benefit us all and enable the business to grow and develop.”
The deal for Waterside Food Services was secured by commercial property consultants, OMEETO, which is based on Pride Park, and Salloway Burton.
Chris Wright, OMEETO director, said: “This deal has been superb and I know this new unit in Branston paves the way for future expansion and growth for Chris and his team at Waterside Food Services.
“This site is a premium location for warehousing and distribution due to its location and we were delighted to secure this deal. We wish Waterside Food Services all the best as it moves into their new HQ.”
Matthew Wrigley of PMW Properties welcomed Waterside Foods to its property in Branston.
He said: “The expansion of Waterside Foods reflects the strength and growth of the local business and this is great to see and we are proud to provide a space that supports their continued success. As landlords, it is rewarding to see our property contribute to the development of such a dynamic business and I hope the relationship is a long lasting successful one.”
Phil Randle, partner at Salloway Burton, said: “It is great to see Waterside select Premier Park as their new headquarters and a base for their expanding business.”
