HOUSEBUILDER and property company Wain Group has completed a double investment in Birchwood, Warrington, with the purchase of a new office and extensive refurbishments to its existing Wain Homes North West headquarters.
The company has acquired Fontwell House, a modern two-storey office on Trident Business Park off Daten Avenue, Birchwood which will also house property, regeneration and strategic land company Wain Estates, as well as the Wain Homes Hub – the centralised support functions for all regions of Wain Homes, including marketing, IT, design, procurement and finance.
Completing the double investment, Wain Homes has undertaken a full refurbishment of its North West office at Kelburn Court in Daten Park.
The property now features a “town hall” area for team meetings, socialising, rest and relaxation and more open plan space with soft furnishings and homely decor to allow greater collaboration between teams.
Wain Group executive chairman Will Ainscough said: “Birchwood is an ideal base for the group.
“Fontwell House offers all the services and amenities you would expect in a 21st Century office with first-class facilities making it a desirable place to work and giving easy access to our regional Wain Estates developments and regeneration projects. It also serves as an efficient base for our Wain Homes Hub, which provides essential support services to all four Wain Homes regions.
“We also took feedback from our Wain Homes North West team and undertook a full modernisation of Kelburn Court in order to provide them with the most comfortable and well-equipped facility.”
In total, nearly 100 people will be based in the two offices, a number set to increase as the company delivers its strategy for growth.
