Confectionery Firm Nestle Relocates Office Headquarters

Friday, January 6th, 2012

shutterstock_87880744Nestle has announced that it is moving its headquarters for the first time in more than 40 years.

The confectionery giant is relocating office space from south London to West Sussex and as part of the business move, 840 of its office-based employees will have to move from Croydon by the end of the year.

The world’s largest food and nutrition company said in a statement that it was difficult to redevelop the current offices known locally as ‘Nestle Tower’ and will now be located 15 miles away at City Place in Gatwick.

Paul Grimwood, chairman and CEO of Nestle UK & Ireland, said: “This move represents an exciting new chapter for Nestle in the UK.”

The multinational firm currently produces products such as Smarties, Nescafe and Kit Kat and it is reported that no redundancies will take place as part of the relocation. Nestle currently employs 7,000 people across the UK and Ireland.

But council leaders from Croydon Council are said to be disappointed by the move. The general manager of Croydon Chamber of Commerce, Matthew Sims, said it was a “blow to the local economy”.

In contrast Gatwick’s local authority, Crawley Borough Council, is reportedly delighted with the move saying it is “absolutely fantastic news.”

Firms Relocating Premises Due To Business Growth

Friday, December 9th, 2011

shutterstock_89357821Despite the difficult economic climate and financial downturn, many businesses in the UK are booming and an art, craft, toy and stationery manufacturer and distributor in Kent is evident of this.

West Design Products currently has its headquarters in Folkestone but is moving to larger trading premises in Plymouth after a surge in business.

The company has clinched a £1 million loan from its banking partner NatWest and is moving the business to 79,000 sq. ft. of office, manufacturing and warehouse space at Lynher House, Bush Park in the South West of England.

This follows funding of £1.8 million earlier in 2011 when the firm expanded its present premises.

The business removals are to accommodate an increased demand which has grown over the past year but it will still keep its HQ and warehouse facilities in Kent.

West Design currently manufacturers stationery products for brands like Stephens and Blick as well as children’s products in high street stores and commercial labels. The organisation purchased stationery factory RD Industries last year after it went into administration.

Mike Bray, Managing Director of West Design Products, said: “When we bought the RD business we saw growth potential in linking the two businesses. The secret was to reclaim the customer base and I feel we have done that but there remain further opportunities.”

Lewisham Council To Relocate Staff To Save Cash

Monday, November 21st, 2011

The London Borough of Lewisham Council is reportedly moving one of its office accommodations to save money.

The local authority is considering relocating out of its present location in the Town Hall on Catford Road and moving the 450 staff to Laurence House across the road.

At the moment around 1,800 employees are spread out across office accommodations Laurence House, the Town Hall, Civic Suite and Town Hall Chambers.

The council is currently trying to save as much cash as possible in an asset rationalisation programme and as a result, the Catford Road building may be shut down.

To run all four buildings on a yearly basis is costing the council about £2.7 million and the council is expected to fork out more than £5 million over the next five years for redecoration and maintenance work.

However, due to government budget cuts the council needs to save £1million and it was recommended to relocate some of the council staff as it will generate annual savings of £870,000.
