Wakemans set to complete £2.6 million manufacturing project

National property and construction consultancy Wakemans will complete a £2.6 million warehouse & distribution project at Newhouse Farm Industrial Estate, Chepstow for REID Lifting at the end of this month.

Wakemans acted as Employer’s Agent, Quantity Surveyors and BREEAM advisors on the development that provides REID with a larger facility and headquarters of 32,500 sq.ft. alongside a second speculative building.

Wakemans director James Shelley commented, “The project has delivered much needed extra space to allow this award winning company to make improvements in their operations, and increase efficiency and productivity.”

Managing director at REID Nick Battersby said: “We are delighted with the new facilities that will allow us to continue with our growth plans, create skilled jobs, bring more business to the local supply chain and continue to expand our exports markets.”

REID Lifting designs and sells a range of lightweight portable gantry and davit cranes, used by such diverse organisations as Thames Water, the Vatican, Rolls Royce and London Underground.

Wakemans also completed a new warehouse facility for foodservice distributor 3663 on the same site at the end of last year.
