After spending several decades in their old site at Staveley, BeaconMedaes Limited, the medical gas pipeline (MPGS) turnkey provider, has recently relocated to a 42,000 sq ft facility in Markham Vale.
Having outgrown their old premises in Staveley, the move indicates the growth the business has experienced over recent years.
The new facility on Greaves Close has two clear objectives for the company. First, it is an opportunity to improve logistics support by consolidating the company’s off-site storage and expanding their export stock holding, centralising export picking, and bringing their export packing in-house.
Furthermore, the facility will house the company’s UK Customer Centre which acts as a global Competence Centre for HTM medical installation in the UK and across the Globe.
Alongside three floors of office space, the building hosts a demonstration area and a state of the art training facility.
With the company’s move there is a focus on sustainability and environmental improvement. The consolidation of logistics will bring a solid reduction in their road transport footprint and the use of solar panels, alongside a complete switch to LED lighting which will help them to deliver on their sustainability commitments.
General manager, Sean Fairest, said: “The relocation of our business is an exciting time for everyone. We are very proud of our new home in Markham Vale and are delighted to add our globally recognised brand to the growing list of successful companies on this prestigious site.
“Looking to the future, this long-term commitment to expansion sends a clear message to the market that BeaconMedaes is determined to build on its history by further strengthening our position in the market for decades to come. I see no reason to doubt that we will be in Markham Vale for as long as we were in Staveley and with this, we will add to the growing reputation of Markham Vale as a Blue-Chip site.”
