Ener-g expands head office

Sustainable power business Ener-g will double the size of its office accommodation and boost manufacturing space by 25% with a new 12,500 sq ft building at its headquarters in Greater Manchester.

The £2m building, scheduled to open in December 2010, is under construction on an adjacent site to ENER-G House at Daniel Adamson Road, Salford.

It will enable ENER-G to keep pace with worldwide demand for its renewable and energy efficient technologies. The group's worldwide turnover last financial year was £125m, 47% of which was generated by export sales.

The new development will bring office capacity at the site to 24,000 sq ft releasing space at ENER-G House and at a second building in neighbouring Diamond Court, to expand manufacturing operations.

This will increase manufacturing space from 34,000 sq ft to more than 42,000 sq ft. The extra space will be used to produce a new energy efficient management control system, developed by ENER-G’s in-house new products development team.

The expansion will involve the transfer of 125 staff from the group's ENER-G Procurement and ENER-G Efficiency divisions from leased premises at St James’s House in nearby Pendleton. Staff from the company’s renewables division are also relocating from temporary offices located in Diamond Court.
