New Century Windows Ltd has expanded its factory in Nottingham and taken a 40,000 sq ft unit in Poulton Drive, in a deal secured by Innes England.
The Nottingham property agency acted on behalf of its client ISIS Waterside Regeneration, to let the industrial unit, which is located just one mile from the city centre. New Century Windows already has a factory on Daleside Road where it manufactures its own glass and window products, the company has now extended its facility on to Poulton Drive to accommodate the new machinery it requires.
New Century Windows was set up in 1997 in Mansfield . The company originally supplied UPVC windows, doors and conservatories to the construction industry, and was run from a 2,000 sq ft industrial unit, manufacturing 60 windows a week. Now, the firm employs around 100 people across both of its sites and on average, produces 800 windows, 1,500 sealed units and 20 conservatory roofs a week.
The newest products the company has started to manufacture include aluminium bi-folding doors, shop fronts and curtain walling for commercial projects. The firm has also started to manufacture composite doors ,which is the newest trend in front and back door replacement.
Rob Cassidy, managing director of New Century Windows says: “From our humble beginnings in Mansfield, we’ve already grown significantly. After Mansfield, we opened a unit in Netherfield, but now we are expanding the range of products we manufacture ourselves, we have moved the Netherfield site in to Poulton Drive. We needed more space to accommodate the new machinery we needed, but felt the unit in Poulton Drive was ideal due to its location. When we thought about growing, we knew we wanted to take additional space on the back of our current factory. This will also allow our planned investment for 2012 to take place”
Craig Straw of Innes England says: “This is the sixth property on the Daleside Road estate we have let on behalf of ISIS Waterside Regeneration and shows that the demand for well located industrial units available on flexible terms is still there. Daleside Road has the dual benefits of being one of the main arterial routes in to Nottingham and only one mile from the city centre.”
“It’s great to be able to help facilitate the expansion of locally grown business such as New Century Windows. Innes England has now let in excess of 75,000sqft on this estate which has gone to a combination of expanding local businesses, a new start up business and, like this latest letting, expansion for local occupiers.”
