Global Telesat Communications Ltd, the innovative satellite communications products and services company, has selected Fleets Corner Business Park for the location of its new headquarters.
Located in Poole and owned by Federated Hermes, a global leader in active, responsible investment management, Fleets Corner Business Park spans 560,000 sq.ft., offering a range of new and comprehensively refurbished industrial accommodation, accounting for 320,000 sq ft of the site, as well as 40,000 sq ft of refurbished office space.
Global Telesat Communications (a wholly owned subsidiary of US-based NextPlat Corp, a Nasdaq-listed company) is a UK-based reseller of the market’s most powerful and advanced satellite communications hardware, software and services, serving over 60,000 customers located in more than 165 countries.
The company has taken 2,470 sq. ft on the ground floor of Waterloo House, which has been newly refurbished by Federated Hermes to complement Fleets Corner’s comprehensive range of amenities. These include Starbucks, capacity for overnight stays via the on-site Travelodge, and ample parking.
James Phipps, Business Development Manager, Global Telesat Communications, added: “The relocation and upsize of our headquarters marks the next stage of growth for Global Telesat Communications. We required a location that combined quality with accessibility and breadth of amenities for staff, and nowhere else could match what is provided at Fleets Corner.”
Stephen Bradley, Director of Investment Management, Federated Hermes, commented: “Benefitting from its strong road links to the M27 and M3 motorways, Fleets Corner Business Park is strategically located with access across the South and South Coast international ports and airports. Setting the benchmark in the region for accessibility, quality of space, and range of amenities, the commitment of a leading global business such as Global Telesat Communications to Fleets Corner is a testament to this, and we are pleased to welcome them to the community.”
Global Telesat Communications is the latest company to join Fleets Corner, joining leading UK-based cosmetics pioneer, Lush, which last year invested £2.3m to grow the capabilities of its Green Hub, expanding its footprint at the park to over 275,000 sq ft. Other companies to have based headquarters within the business park are Poole-based recruitment firm, TeamJobs, and local engineering firm, Calcinotto.
Galena Real Estate, JLL, Goadsby and CBRE acted for Federated Hermes on the deal. Trethowans represented Global Telesat Communications.
