Pre-hospital training facility to open in Newmarket

Acting on behalf of the landlord, Eddisons has let Tulip House, 1 Craven Court in Newmarket to pre-hospital training provider Medipro.

MediPro has agreed a new 10 year lease on the recently refurbished office unit, which was previously occupied by the East of England Ambulance Service. The building provides a total area of 8,362 sq ft arranged over two floors and will be used as an additional training facility for emergency care assistants and associate ambulance practitioners.

Brian English, Managing Director of MediPro, comments: “Medipro Limited is a leading provider of pre-hospital education in the UK. We train ambulance technicians, offshore medics, diver medics and paramedics. Medipro is also the largest provider of ambulance apprenticeships nationwide, training thousands of emergency care assistants and associate ambulance practitioners.

“In 2021, due to the business growth, we doubled our office space in Stockton-on-Tees where we have our purpose-built training centre. In 2022, it was evident we need to look for another training centre down south in order to accommodate further growth.

“Eddisons have become a key support in helping us to secure training centre in Newmarket.

“Their approach was exceptionally professional, and I would highly recommend their services.”

Eddisons East Midland team’s 47-mile walk beats fundraising target to raise over £14k for charity

Eddisons’ eastern regional offices in Peterborough, Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds joined forces in September to complete the 47-mile Norfolk Coast Path from Hunstanton to Cromer. They completed the challenge in just 24hrs and have raised a staggering £14,000 for their nominated charity, Sue Ryder.

Inspired by their friend David Park, a director in Eddisons’ Peterborough building and project consultancy team who was sadly diagnosed with cancer in 2021, the team set a target of raising £10,000 for Sue Ryder, the charity that provides expert palliative care to people living with life-limiting conditions.

The intrepid team set off from Hunstanton on the morning of 8 September, trekking throughout the night along the coastal route and reaching Cromer the following morning.

“It was tough, but we did it,” said eastern region director Martin Hughes. “As a team, we were able to push through the night and keep our spirits up despite the aches and pains and a closed path which actually added to the 47 miles!

“We’re so proud and grateful for all the support we’ve received in helping us beat our £10,000 target and raise over £14,000 to provide help and much-needed expert end-of-life care for Sue Ryder.

Eddisons appointed to sell Saica Pack site in Ellesmere Port

Eddisons has been appointed, with joint agent Vail Williams, to sell the 200,000 sq ft former Saica Pack corrugated cardboard packaging site in Ellesmere Port. The factory stands on a 14 acre site on the M53 motorway close to the Vauxhall car plant.

The Saica Pack site, which was originally part of the Bowater Containers paper factory, is also adjacent to the 42 acre Link Logistics Park, currently under construction and due to launch state-of-the art warehouse space early next year.

Eddisons director Robert Diggle, who is leading on the sale of the site, said: “This is a prime site at the heart of the North West logistics network. It was originally built in the late 1950s and its location, between the M53 and the Manchester Ship Canal, and easily accessible from Liverpool, Manchester and the national road network, was as key then as it is now.

“Sites of this size and pedigree come on the market rarely and, with demand for quality warehouse and industrial space currently reaching critical levels across the North West, we expect a buyer for the former Saica site to be found very rapidly.”

 

Eddisons helps rapid relief charity secure new premises

Eddisons Huntingdon Agency team has secured new premises for a rapid relief and crisis support charity in St Neots.

Rapid Relief Team has moved into the 10,705 sq ft unit at 24 Little End Road, a popular location in Eaton Socon within easy reach of the A1/A428.

The detached warehouse unit provides a large factory area and workshop together with ground and first floor office accommodation, a generous yard and parking.

Speaking about the sale, Bob Jay, UK Director of Operations at Rapid Relief Team, commented, “Inspired by community spirit and the gift of giving, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) serves people with care and compassion in their time of need. Established by the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) in 2013, RRT offers quality catering assistance and tangible support to charities, government and emergency services confronting some of humankind’s greatest challenges. From supporting refugees fleeing warzones to ensuring hunger isn’t a barrier to education, RRT expands its support services to meet the crisis at hand.

“RRT is looking to start renovating the property to suit the charity’s needs and looks forward to occupation soon. RRT appreciates the cooperation of Eddisons throughout the process and their support in liaising with the tenants and vendor to suit our completion date.”

Agent on the property Matthew Hunt added, “We received great levels of interest from both purchasers and tenants from across the region looking to expand and/or relocate to St Neots. This is due to the geography of the area being appealing to businesses for logistical reasons together with recruitment prospects.”

Eddisons was the sole agent acting for the vendor in the sale of the freehold.

Eddisons instructed to let office and laboratory space near Cambridge

Eddisons have been instructed to let Building 7 at Old Farm Business Centre in Toft.

The property comprises a modern detached building proving approximately 7,323 sq ft of high quality office, workshop and laboratory accommodation. Internally, the property offers a large reception area for guests, air conditioning, underfloor heating and an array of meeting and break out rooms. There is a roller shutter goods access and the space offers flexibility to adapt to different user’s requirements. Externally, the premises benefits from attractive landscape grounds with dedicated seating areas and views over the adjacent fields.

The Old Farm Business Centre is located in the centre of Toft within walking distance of the local café, village store and Post Office. The village is only 6 miles west of Cambridge with good access to the M11 motorway, making the journey time by car less than 20 minutes, with frequent bus services also available.

The building was formerly occupied for 9 years by Cambridge Design Partnership (CDP) who are now relocating to Bourn Quarter. CDP is an independent innovation partner that works with global clients to actualise their brand vision. The company founded in 1996 and have since become front runners in innovation in numerous markets; from healthcare to industrial equipment. Due to this success they have outgrown the space and are expanding to larger premises.

Mike Beadman owner of CDP commented: “Toft Village has supported us as we have grown from a 2 person startup to over 300 people – more than outgrowing the Old Farm, so now we wish the next occupiers equal success.”

Building 7 will be available from the end of 2022 on a new lease rent of £157,000 per annum (£21.44 per sq ft).
