Leeds electrics specialist moves to Brighouse in major office expansion

Commercial and industrial electrical services expert Brightlec has signed a three-year lease on Brighouse’s Unit 1 Woodvale Workshops to support company growth.

Previously based in Leeds, Brightlec has expanded considerably during 2018/2019, adding four new team members and increasing turnover by 30 per cent.

The firm is now moving to the new 1,846 sq ft space with industrial property lettings specialist Towngate PLC, to facilitate further team growth before the end of the year.

Tom Beetham, director at Brightlec, commented on the new warehouse: “Due to our company expansion, we outgrew our old premises, so we were on the lookout for somewhere larger with good motorway access.

“We contacted Towngate PLC to enquire about this unit and within the day we were invited over to take a look.

“Towngate were fantastic throughout the process, from the initial visit through to contract completion. When the previous tenants left, the building was fully refurbished which was to a high standard and managed excellently.’’

The workshop also includes a newly-refurbished office and reception, ample parking and a modern kitchen.

This new location could benefit the brand with its ‘easy’ access to the national motorway network - meaning staff can reach customers easily and efficiently.

Towngate PLC’s facilities manager, Jake Wilde, added: “We are delighted to have Brightlec on board. We too are based at Woodvale, within the Office Park, and we welcome the company as both our tenant and neighbour.”
