New Trafford HQ for expanding board game company

Growing board game business Steamforged Games is establishing a new HQ in Trafford.

The company will relocate from its current base in Stockport to a 16,348 sq ft building on Kestrel Road at Trafford Park.

The extended two-storey office property, which includes warehouse space, recently underwent a full refurbishment and fit-out that cost over £300k.

Jay Finnegan, operations manager at Steamforged, said: “The growth of the business since we launched three years ago has been remarkable which is why our property requirements have changed so drastically.

“The new office will be four times the size of our current building and will provide us with the perfect opportunity to create a unique space which works for us operationally and showcases our business in a prime industrial hotspot.”

Mark Sillitoe of commercial property agents Williams Sillitoe, which advised Steamforged on the five-year lease, commented: “Steamforged had very specific requirements which made our job quite tricky but the unit at Kestrel Road ticked so many boxes for them.

“The quality of the refurbishment and fit-out has been second-to-none and the new premises will help to take their business to the next level.”

Cushman & Wakefield acted for the property’s landlord, Craigard.
