Pet products supplier planning new life in Telford
 |
Rosewood Pet Products is putting the final touches to a new home in Telford, allowing the company to continue with expansion that has seen it selling products all around the world.
The company will bring down the curtain on almost four decades based in Broseley when it moves into its new home at Hortonwood West in Telford.
The move will see the company consolidate its three current distribution and operational locations, including its head office in Broseley, to one centralised site on the outskirts of Telford.
Rosewood has entered into a 15-year lease for the 72,000 sq ft warehouse and office building developed by Telford and Wrekin Council, which is being built by contractors Morris Properties.
Co-owner and marketing director Bev Panter said: “This is a huge step change for our business and underpins our long term strategic growth plans.
"Being able to utilise modern warehouse technology will significantly improve efficiency for our customer despatches and our storage capabilities will mean we can continue to grow without putting the business under undue stress.
“Since expanding our offer into the treats market in 2015, the business has continued to grow at pace, which is testament to the hard work of our staff and the vision of our senior management team.
"We will be sad to say goodbye to our Broseley warehouse and office, as we have been there for 37 years, however the opportunity to relocate was too good to pass on as we have been limited by the lack of space for some time now. Our new home will provide a fantastic working environment for everyone with great employee amenities and adequate space for us to grow into in the years to come.”
The site is expected to be ready for Rosewood to move in by October. At first the company will employ 66 people at the site, most of which will transfer from its existing operations.
