Food-to-go manufacturer Around Noon has taken a 27,000 sq ft warehouse at Slough Trading Estate.
The company has signed a 15-year lease on the recently renovated EPC A+ rated facility. The warehouse has PV panels fitted on the roof providing electricity to the premises, with any excess power going back into the network grid.
The unit also has SMART meters installed throughout to improve its operational efficiency and enhance the working environment.
Gareth Chambers, CEO of Around Noon, said: “We have grown our run rate at Around Noon in Slough from £4m per annum in 2018 to around £30m per annum today. We now manufacture over 400,000 products per week at the existing Slough factory and we are really pleased to have secured additional premises at Slough Trading Estate to support our ongoing growth.”
James Craddock, managing director UK at SEGRO, added: “This is a wonderful example of how the quality and management of our workspace combined with our flexibility and understanding of our customers’ property needs has enabled us to retain and grow our diverse customer base on the Slough Trading Estate.
“Around Noon is a strong, growing business and we’re very pleased to have been able to accommodate them in this this upgraded facility and enable their business growth, particularly at a time when the vacancy rate at Slough Trading Estate remains very low at 2.7%.”
