Event Hire UK doubles Bradford presence
Now in its 15th year in the city, the firm has committed to a 17,000 sq ft unit at Cutler Heights Business Park.
Established in Walsall in 2005, the firm opened a Bradford base in 2009 and also has operations in London and Manchester.
The company specialises in the hire of furniture, catering equipment, refrigeration facilities, tableware and related accessories for all types of events.
The new space, on Cutler Heights Lane, is less than two miles from both the M606 and Bradford city centre. Event Hire was previously based at Enterprise Court, Prince Street.
Cutler Heights is being marketed by Leeds property consultancy GV&Co. Just three units remain available at the estate/
Event Hire currently employs an 18-strong team in Bradford and plans to create four new roles this year. Across its estate, the firm now stocks more than 2.5m items that it hires out nationally to clients including Leeds and Reading Festivals through to golf’s original major, The Open Championship.
Jean Moller, regional operations director, who heads Event Hire UK’s Bradford site, explained: “We had outgrown our previous premises and when work completed on this brand new, modern unit, close to our previous base, it was ideal for us. It will enable us to significantly increase our stock levels in Yorkshire and offer a faster and more efficient service to our clients, which makes it an exciting move for us.”
Will Woodhall from GV&Co, said: “Event Hire UK is a well-established and expanding business that needed a modern, high quality and secure building close to the motorway network, so Cutler Heights Business Park was the perfect fit.
“Brand new buildings in this part of Bradford, that are ready for immediate occupation, are few and far between, so we’re already generating good levels of interest in the three remaining units from local businesses that require ground floor warehouse and storage space together with office accommodation.”
