Goole furniture manufacturer set to relocate to purpose-built HQ in Airmyn

Elite Furniture, based in Goole, is relocating to a new purpose-built factory and head office currently under construction in Airmyn.

The furniture manufacturer is making the move to a new 15-acre site off Rawcliffe Road, having outgrown its current premises at Britannia Road.

Building contractor Harrisons, has commenced construction of a turnkey solution for Elite with a new 244,254 sq. ft. base comprising offices, showroom and a production plant.

The factory is scheduled for completion at the end of the year and the offices will be ready for occupation in spring 2017.

Rob Clarke, Elite Furniture director, said: “Elite Furniture has a strong commitment to the environment, so we asked Harrisons to design and build a new production facility which will enable us to produce our furniture and seating more efficiently, minimising the operation’s running costs and environmental impact with 90% of components produced within one site.

“The building has exceptional standards of environmental design and the production plant will enable us to manufacture more products for our UK and overseas client base.

“Harrisons designed and built our current premises and the outstanding quality their work on that development meant we had no hesitation in choosing the company to deliver our new base in Airmyn.”

Andrew Largent, Harrisons managing director, commented: “Harrisons are proud of the fact that a high percentage of our work is repeat business and this second contract with Elite is the latest of various examples this year, including an extension to a factory we originally built for Custom Made Kitchens in Thorne and the second of two warehouses which we have built in Doncaster for haulage company JMS.

“We have also commenced phase two of a new production plant for Rockscape Energy Ltd, having completed phase one in 2014.”
