The contractor Kingdom reports they will be moving to a new National Support Centre within the coming months; in June, they expect.
The company’s new National Support Centre will be at Willow House, Woodlands Business Park, 1 Ashton Road, Newton Le Willows, WA12 0HF. Willow House is a detached modern office building of steel frame and brick clad construction with a pitched tiled roof. It includes 63 ground level car parking spaces around the building. The offices will be arranged over three floors and cover about 12,750 sq ft. It’s at the entrance to Woodlands Park, a 4.59 acre business park. The new premises will thus the firm says both accommodate Kingdom’s ongoing growth and allow for further growth.
Terry Barton BA Hons, Kingdom’s CEO, said: “We have had a great home for over 20 years but through ongoing growth we have maximised capacity so started looking for new premises a few years ago. The new office will allow us to create a fantastic new home for Kingdom and will allow us to take the business to the next level as well as providing a fantastic place for our colleagues to work and our customers and future customers to visit and meet the fantastic team we have built. The new building will provide us with security and sustainability, and is giving us the opportunity to refresh and install state of the art software.”
