We are pleased to welcome two businesses to new premises in Four Ashes, part of the South Staffordshire Council’s commercial estate. Both PCP Gratings and Energy Bolting have expanded their businesses, moving into larger units and, importantly, remaining in the area, which supports workforce retention and job growth in the local economy.
PCP Gratings has moved into the Council’s newly refurbished factory following a £3 million investment, bringing the site back into use after an extensive fire in 2021. This move allowed the company to consolidate two factories into one, combining with their sister company, Guard Rail, which was previously located outside the district, helping streamline their manufacturing process on one site. PCP Gratings were previously located next door to their new premises at the Four Ashes Business Park. Following their relocation, the Council has purchased the vacated factory.
The newly purchased factory allowed local growing business Energy Bolting the space they needed to expand their hugely successful business into one building where they can now operate under one roof to deliver growing orders from across the world. Energy Bolting have also benefited from UK shared prosperity funding provided by the Council, enabling them to purchase new specialist manufacturing equipment.
Both businesses have also benefited from being South Staffordshire Business Ambassadors, a programme facilitated by the Council to support the growth of the local commercial community and economy. Being a tenant of South Staffordshire Council offers more than just a traditional landlord-tenant relationship. The Council has a dedicated team that genuinely cares about the success of local businesses and provides support to ensure the district remains prosperous well into the future.
Energy Bolting also participated in the Council’s Strive for Success programme in September 2023. This business growth programme is designed to help businesses realise their full potential. Following completion of the programme, Energy Bolting has seen exponential growth and secured grant funding to support its growth aspirations.
Did you know the council have a diverse range of over 200 premises? With commercial spaces ranging from industrial units of various sizes to office spaces across the district, and even unique properties like an old railway line café and country park at Baggeridge, we are committed to helping businesses thrive and flourish in South Staffordshire.
In September 2024, the team won a national government award for building collaborative tenanted spaces at the Codsall Hub. If you're a business looking to relocate to South Staffordshire, contact the Business Hub today businesshub@sstaffs.gov.uk.
