An Australian owed fleet company has opened its new, multi-million pound headquarters as part of plans to grow its UK business.
SG Fleet Group has relocated its UK operation to a new 20,452 square-foot unit on the Tunstall Arrow development, in Sandyford, Stoke-on-Trent - from a small base elsewhere in the city.
The new site boasts brand new modern offices, a cafe and meeting areas, as well as a new boardroom, hot desks and warehouse space.
The move to a bigger site has also allowed the firm to expand and better establish a consumer sales division.
Pete Wright, fleet solutions director, said: “Our previous premises were a bit aged so we needed a fresh look and a nicer working environment.
“We had been looking around for about 12 to 18 months trying to find the right site, and we got to know about the Tunstall Arrow development.
“We were able to work with the developers Network Space to design the office to meet our needs.
“It’s quite a funky office and the new meeting rooms are fantastic."
SG Fleet has more than 100 employees in the UK with around 30 based in Stoke-on-Trent.
The company is a fleet management and vehicle leasing business which specialises in mobility solutions for the corporate sector – predominantly cars and vans. It also has a vehicle management and vehicle repair arm.
He added: “Moving to this new site has allowed us to future-proof ourselves. We want to employ more people and grow.
“We have around 15,000 of our cars and vans on the roads every day in the UK, and we supply everyone from small businesses to really big organisations such as DPD.
“Now we have space to expand into, which will allow us to take on bigger clients and supply even more vehicles.”
Pete Davenport, managing director of SG Fleet UK and founder of Motiva, said: “I am delighted with our new office location.
“The building gives us room for growth as well as offering a modern working environment for our staff.
“We were keen to remain a Stoke-on-Trent business, and the site at Tunstall Arrow has offered a great location for our new office.”
