Scell-it is an independently owned (50 per cent UK and 50 per cent French) business which was formed in 1988 with the sole aim of offering fixing solutions to the engineering and building contractors through a network of distributors. They develop innovative products for professional use, which are distributed worldwide.
The business also offers a range of innovative services to its customers, including sizing software that will enable customers to choose the correct fixing, traction tests and use of their training and technical support staff. Scell-it has been a tenant on Beacon Business Park in Stafford for 3 and a half years where they employ 11 people, and has now purchased plot 20A to expand their UK facilities.
The new plot, which is almost 10,000 sq foot in size, will house 2,000 sq ft of office space and 8,000 sq ft of warehousing, parking and cycle facilities.

Gary Moseley, Director, comments ‘Stafford is a great central location to enable us to service our customers across the UK, and we have found the hands-on, on-site management of the team at Beacon Business Park makes a refreshing change to dealing with agents and landlords that we rarely get to see.’
‘The project has been much easier to organise than we anticipated due to the invaluable help and knowledge of the Beacon Business Park team, who have a huge amount of experience.’
‘This is an exciting development for Scell-it (UK) Ltd and will allow us to develop further as a leading producer and distributor of fixings and blind rivets in the UK and Ireland. It will allow us to introduce a new range of products as we will have much more warehouse space and also maintain a happy and pleasant working environment for our staff.’
