The independent, family-owned company develop, manufacture, and supply high quality pharmaceuticals. They have built up both a ‘generic’ and ‘over the counter’ portfolio which they supply to customers across the UK and beyond. The Warwickshire based company will be relocating from their existing premises in Wedgnock Lane, Warwick into their brand-new purpose-built facility at Tournament Fields. The move will allow them to expand with an ambient and chilled storage facility which is important for the importation and deportation of pharmaceuticals. Tournament Fields, due to its excellent location in their hometown and access to nationwide transport networks offered the ideal opportunity for the company to future proof their growing business.

Tournament Fields is an established and thriving business park located adjacent to Junction 15 of the M40 motorway, south west of Warwick town centre. The park benefits from direct access to the Midlands motorway network and excellent transport links to Warwick and the surrounding areas.

It comes as no surprise that this impressive business park, owned by Clowes and developed out by Paul Shanley, Director at Clowes Developments, has attracted a mixture of global and regional occupiers. Semcon, Eagle Burgmann, Geberit, GFA, 3P Innovation and Scholastic have all moved to the park in recent years and some have established it as their UK headquarters.

Paul Shanley, Director at Clowes Developments commented on the deal,

“We are delighted to welcome Manx Healthcare to Tournament Fields. We have worked closely with their team to deliver a scheme which will delivered a bespoke facility to match their long-term needs. We look forward to watching Manx Healthcare thrive in their brand-new purpose-built premises”.

Richard Taylor, Chairman of Manx Healthcare Ltd added,

“This significant investment demonstrates our confidence in the future growth of our family company as a major supplier of essential medicines to the NHS, and also a fast-growing range of healthcare products to care for the public.”

Due to the high demand for Grade A units in the area, Clowes Developments have also announced plans to speculatively build an additional 19,000sq ft warehouse/production building with 7.5m eaves height and 5% office content. Contractors, Benniman Construction Group will begin groundworks in June of this year with the build ready for occupation on a freehold or leasehold basis as early as spring next year.
