SEGRO : Brompton Bicycle thrives at SEGRO’s Greenford Park estate

Brompton Bicycle thrives at SEGRO's Greenford Park estate

21 January 2021

SEGRO further strengthened its relationship with British bike manufacturer Brompton Bicycle by agreeing a new lease at its Greenford Park estate.

Totalling 11,300 sq ft, the folding bike company will use the space as a workshop and for storage of its products. SEGRO welcomed Brompton Bicycle to its customer portfolio in 2015 and over the years the iconic bike company has grown in popularity - resulting in the need for more well located industrial space.

Greenford Park is located close to the A40 and M40, with direct access to the heart of London, where Brompton Bicycle's flagship store is based.

Alan Holland, Managing Director for Greater London, SEGRO, said:

'It is wonderful to be able to help our long term customer in their growth and to see them flourish, during what many would agree to be challenging times. Greenford Park offers Brompton Bicycle a well located space for them to meet their ambitious expansion plans and this growth will create employment opportunities for the local community.'

Will Butler-Adams OBE, Managing Director for Brompton Bicycle, said:

'It has been a challenging year in so many ways, but we are pleased to bring some positive news, in confirming our commitment to manufacturing in London. We are taking on more space at SEGRO's Greenford Park estate to expand our innovation, research and development capability, to bring more cutting edge technology and materials science to the Brompton.

'Across the globe, cities are rethinking how they want to live and the role of the bicycle in bringing health, happiness and freedom has never been more relevant.'

As part of the upgrades to the Greenford Park estate, SEGRO has partnered with RAW Charging - the UK's leading suppliers of electric vehicle charging infrastructure - to install three EV charging stations and fully prepared for a further eight stations at the Greenford Park estate.
