Comfortable new home for seat manufacturer
A FURNITURE manufacturer that specialises in healthcare and recliner seats has relocated its business to a Black Country trading estate.
Repose Furniture has moved to Multipark Pensnett in Kingswinford after identifying growth opportunities for the business.
It has signed a 15-year deal with LCP, the commercial property and investment company that owns and manages the estate which has recently been renamed from The Pensnett Estate.
The move from Cokeland Place in Cradley Heath has seen the 108-strong team at Repose Furniture, which is part of the Prism healthcare group, now operating from the 63,000 sq ft unit.
The business, which also supplies sensory products including weighted blankets, has just completed a round of recruitment to coincide with its move and plans to employ more staff over the next few months. Managing director Lisa Wardley said: “We needed larger premises that are more modern and would enable us to create a great showroom to showcase not only Repose products but those of the group too.
“With our new home, we will become the Midlands hub for product demonstrations and training.” David Charlton, associate director of LCP, added: “We’re pleased to welcome Repose to Multipark Pensnett as the latest business on our flagship trading estate.
“As an established national business with ambitions for growth, it has secured excellent premises that will enable it to harness the opportunities of its growing market.”
Multipark Pensnett covers 185 acres and is home to almost 200 companies.
