£750,000 head office for Pure at Shrewsbury Business Park

Pure Telecom, which provides mobile, fixed and hosted telecoms systems for companies of all sizes across the UK, has acquired a larger base on Shrewsbury Business Park, allowing it to improve its facilities for staff and customers.

Founder Matt Sandford said that although his company had only moved a short distance on within the park, the major investment was an important milestone for the company.

"We now have a bigger head office, to be called Michael Place, which features specially-designed training rooms and more space for presentations, meetings and product displays," he said.

"The team here is growing rapidly, with the recruitment of five new members of staff recently, and there are further plans for development, so the new head office will enable us to expand even further.

"Customers will also be better catered for at the enlarged offices, which have more car parking spaces and are located in a very convenient position."

The ground floor of the 4,392 sq ft two-storey building is now occupied by Handelsbanken, which provided financial backing for the move.

Handelsbanken's corporate banking manager Lindsay Pearson added: "Pure have been customers for many years and we were delighted to be able to support them with the purchase of these fantastic new premises.

"As a tenant, we are enjoying the move to the more prominent position on the business park which will assist with our continued expansion in Shrewsbury."

Alan Hay of Shrewsbury Business Park owners Alaska Property Group said that the development of Michael Place was especially pleasing as it provided larger offices to two concerns who had 'grown with the park', reaffirming its location as one of the best in the county.

Shrewsbury Business Park is undergoing an all-round expansion at present, increasing its area to Wenlock Road.
