John Truslove helps SEW-Eurodrive build Bromsgrove base for future growth

Commercial property agents John Truslove have helped a world leading drive technology specialist consolidate its operations at its base in Worcestershire.

SEW-Eurodrive Ltd, part of a global German group employing over 22,000 people, has taken Units 15 & 16 Aston Fields Trading Estate in Bromsgrove.

Andrew Turner, managing director of SEW-Eurodrive Ltd which is based in Normanton in West Yorkshire, said: “We have had a sales office on one side of the road which we have owned since 1997, but we wanted to consolidate with the service centre.

“Our existing unit was not large enough and Ian Parker and his team at John Truslove understood our requirements and provided us with an excellent solution.”

“Units 15 & 16 provide the extra service capacity to grow our repair presence in the area and to incorporate our sales office into the same building.

“We are now looking to employ one more engineer in the service centre, and also seeking an internal sales person for the office. We plan to increase our headcount in Bromsgrove further down the line.

SEW-Eurodrive has taken the total of 8,642 sq ft on a five year lease at £77,500 per sq ft. John Truslove were joint agents with GJS Dillon.

Ian Parker, joint managing director of John Truslove, said: “For a business like SEW-Eurodrive Ltd, Bromsgrove is an excellent location, just minutes off the national motorway network via both the M42 and M5.

“It provides a central service and distribution location and is why Bromsgrove and north Worcestershire in general is in demand for companies with a national presence and reach.

“We were very pleased to be able to help SEW-Eurodrive Ltd in the next stage of their growth.”
