Wigley Group starts £1.5m HQ expansion

A commercial property company in the West Midlands has begun work on a major £1.5 million expansion of its headquarters.

The two-storey, 3,000 sq ft extension is being added to Stockton House, in Southam, which was once a country house but has been home to The Wigley Group since conversion into offices in 2019.

The project will create new open-plan office space for up to 15 people, a conferencing and community facility for up to 120 people and a new café for staff and visitors.

The scheme will also add 30 more car park spaces, increasing total capacity to 64, with work due to complete by the end of 2022.

Wigley Group owns and manages business and industrial parks across the Midlands.

Chief executive James Davies said: "When we purchased Stockton House in 2017, it was always our intention to restore the historic building to its former glory.

"Our initial conversion from residential to offices did just that, restoring the historic building to modern office standards while retaining its unique design and architecture.

"Thanks to our continued growth, we are now in a position to complete the final piece of the puzzle of Stockton House's transformation.

"This will allow us to create office space, a conference facility, and open up the building for business meetings and community events, right in the heart of Stockton."
