Chesterfield business to move into larger warehouse premises

1st May 2024

A business based in Chesterfield is set to move to a larger premises in the town, providing a new head office and warehouse for the organisation.

Valve and Process Solutions Ltd, currently based on the Foxwood Business Park in Sheepbridge has purchased Units 1 and 2, Whittington Way from FHP Property Consultants.

The modern warehouse space will provide Valve and Process Solutions with 12,536 sq ft of accommodation across two units. Valve and Process Solutions provides an extensive range of market-leading flow control valves and equipment. The company supports several industries, including pharmaceutical, food & beverage, chemical and sugar trades.

Commenting on the sale, Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants said: “I am delighted that after high levels of interest we could secure a buyer for this property. There remains little space to buy on the market of any size throughout the region and as a result we were able to place this property under offer within a week of placing it on the market. As a result we achieved the guide price which is an excellent result for our clients.”

Steve Pearson, Founder of Valve & Process Solutions commented: “It’s a really exciting time for us at the moment. This year has already seen us launch a brand new website, be appointed as the UK’s only authorised Channel Partner for Südmo Spares & Components and introduce the Pentair Südmo hygienic valve range into our first-class product portfolio, and now over the coming weeks we will make the transition to our fantastic new premises.

“Not only that, but we’re also looking to grow the team starting with a Customer Service role at our Chesterfield head office. All these changes will help drive our wider business plans, deliver market-leading flow control solutions and provide the best possible service for our customers.”

With excellent road and rail connectivity and proximity to several major UK towns and cities, Chesterfield is an ideal location to base your business. Find out more at: www.chesterfield.co.uk/business/invest-in-chesterfield/ email invest@chesterfield.co.uk

Dozens of Chesterfield companies among Derbyshire’s top 200 businesses

1st July 2022

It has been revealed by the University of Derby that 40 Chesterfield businesses are among the top 200 firms in Derbyshire.

Researchers from the University’s Business School have compiled the list, which ranks all active, private sector businesses in Derby and Derbyshire by turnover — a simple but powerful indicator of business growth and relative positioning.

It showcases some of the companies driving the local economy and highlights interesting growth sectors and place-based clusters.

Angela Tooley, Enterprise Development Manager at the University of Derby, said: “Derby and Derbyshire are home to global brands, as well as locally owned high growth companies from a diverse range of sectors, which are at the forefront of innovation in UK growth areas such as decarbonisation, clean growth, digital and export of services.

“This research further confirms the strength of the area’s businesses, particularly as many of them are based outside of our main towns and city. This makes their contribution to the regional economy even more important, through providing high-quality employment and buying goods and services from local supply chains, many of whom are SMEs.”

The Top 200 has been compiled from publicly available information for the financial period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, including data from Companies House and the Fame database. It therefore doesn’t show the full effects of the pandemic, which will become more apparent in the 2023 listing.

To qualify, companies must have:

been active during 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 (i.e. not in receivership or dormant)
had their registered office based in the region
reported independent accounts to Companies House for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020

Professor Kamil Omoteso, Pro Vice-Chancellor Dean of the College of Business, Law and Social Sciences at the University of Derby, added: “As the University’s profile and impact within the business community continues to grow and we move forward with our plans for our city-based Derby Business School, it’s fantastic to see such strong, thriving businesses, many that the University works closely with, recognised in the list.”
