Hamiltons acquire Aldeby Business Park

“Our rapid growth in removals worldwide over the past five years has driven us to look for additional and larger premises,” says Michael Sawyer, Hamiltons’ MD.

The acquisition of the 6.5 acre Aldeby Business Park in the Waveney Valley will provide customised facilities for our European and international, and deep sea, operations.

“We are very excited about this development as it will give us an extra 100,000 square feet of storage space for our customers, and state of the art facilities for our staff. The loading bays have self-levelling rising floors, which is particularly useful when you are loading 20 foot and 40 foot containers.”

The site was for many years the headquarters of the Waveney Apple Growers, who processed apples from local growers in the summer and kept their staff employed over the winter making rush products. Since then, it has been used by Atlantic Country Superstores, and Tobar Ltd. Hamiltons will be undertaking a 12-month refurbishment of the whole site.

A number of units on the Park are available to let, and Hamiltons would like to encourage start-up businesses as well as established companies looking for large, light and spacious units in an attractive rural setting, within easy reach of road, rail and air networks.

Prices start at a very competitive £2 per square foot (£21.50 per square metre). There are twelve small units of 83 square metres each, a detached office building, and a series of industrial units which would be appropriate for warehousing – or even storing one’s collection of vintage cars!
