THE COMPANY required a new distribution centre to consolidate operations from sites in Alfreton and Derby, and as a net zero carbon property, the space will also contribute to the business’s own decarbonisation
When it won its contract with Derbyshire County Council and NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care Board in 2023 it agreed to relocate to a new service centre depot in 2025, to support the expected increase in activities and ncrease its electric fleet servicing Derbyshire by 25%.
Medequip’s operations and commercial director Andrew Firth, said: “The net zero carbon property will contribute to our decarbonisation aims as well as providing a more efficient and convenient centre for our local colleagues and customers.”
FHP Property Consultants acted on behalf of landlord Legal & General.
FHP Director Tim Gilbertson, said: “A long term lease has been secured on the building which created good interest after extensive marketing with its recent net zero carbon refurbishment adding attraction to the occupier eventually secured.
“This again shows a lack of similar available stock now in the marketplace but hopefully as the year progresses there will be more opportunities of similar calibre available in the market.”
