Beacon Business Park - Stafford

Scell-it move into new HQ in Stafford

Scell-it (UK) Ltd, blind rivet and fixing specialist, moved in to its brand-new purpose built warehouse and offices at Beacon Business Park in Stafford on 9 December 2016.

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 has had its UK headquarters at Beacon Business Park in Staffordshire since 2013, and have increased their staff numbers to now employ 14 people. In order to expand their UK facilities, Scell-it purchased plot 20A on the business park’s 50 acre development zone and was granted planning permission for their new facilities by Stafford Borough Council on 8 March 2016.

Stafford based architects Barnet Ratcliffe, took the lead on creating a design to incorporate the current and future needs of the growing business and its staff.

Work on the 10,000-square foot plot, housing 2,000 square foot of office space and 8,000 square foot of warehousing, parking and cycle facilities was completed a few weeks ahead of schedule, with handover of keys on 9 December 2016 enabling Scell-it to move in before the Christmas holidays with minimum interruptions to their everyday business.

Gary Moseley, Director of Scell-it, comments ‘We are delighted with our new premises, the build process went extremely smoothly thanks to the invaluable help and experience of the Beacon Business Park team who oversaw the project from design and construction to completion.’

‘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.’

‘Stafford is a great central location enabling us to service our customers across the UK. 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.’

Scell-it’s new facility is just the latest purpose built unit to be completed on Beacon Business Park. Other recent developments include completion of a new unit for UK Garden Buildings who moved in earlier this year and construction for a new warehouse and offices for Classeq Warewashers is now well underway.

Andy Bramall, one of the directors at Beacon Business Park comments ‘Completing the build from scratch in just 10 months is a credit to everyone involved. We are really proud to work as part of a team, including architects, engineers and builders who can deliver fast results for the needs of growing businesses in Staffordshire.’
