Goole manufacturer announces move to purpose built premises on Ozone Business Park
Timloc Building Products, the Goole-based manufacturer, has been announced as the latest company to move to Ozone Business Park in Howden.
The company, which is part of The Alumasc Group PLC, joins national operators Warburtons, TNT, Image Data Group and DPD on the park, which is being brought forward by property developer, the Horncastle Group PLC.
In order to expand its manufacturing capacity, Timloc relocating from Rawcliffe Road, Goole, to a 88,000 sq ft, two-storey unit.
The move will also provide better access to the motorway network than its current location, as Ozone Business Park lies less than a mile from Junction 37 or the M62.
Michael Leaf, divisional managing director at Timloc, said: “Timloc is a well-known and trusted brand in the building products sector, supplying the UK’s leading national and independent builders’ merchants.
“To ensure our success continues, we are looking to expand our manufacturing and warehouse operations.
“To facilitate that, we need a modern, purpose-built building with better access to and from our site, but also to the motorway network.
“Ozone Business Park fulfils all those requirements, but crucially, is close to our current base in Goole, so the move will not impact negatively on our workforce.”
Mr Leaf added that Ozone Business Park was the perfect size for Timloc’s requirements.
He commented: “So, while Ozone Business Park hosts some excellent national companies, it is not so big as to make finding individual businesses difficult, or for customers, suppliers, or logistics companies to negotiate their way around, which is a huge asset.”
Work has started to prepare the site, and construction is expected to be finished by October 2017. Once completed, the building will be retained by Horncastle PLC, and leased to Timloc on a long-term basis.
Ian Hodges, managing director of Horncastle PLC, added: “Timloc Building Products is a fantastic local company whose success means it is in need of premises that truly befit its future development requirements.
“We’re very pleased Timloc has found that at Ozone Business Park, as this means the company will remain as dedicated as ever to the local area, further strengthening the local employment hub.”
