Strutt & Parker - Offices Letting - Newbury, Guildgate House

Date: 07 Jun 2002

Strutt & Parker, managing Vodafone’s corporate disposal programme, has assigned Guildgate House Newbury to Mikom UK Ltd. The supplier of wireless infrastructure has taken 297 sq m (3,196 sq ft) on a lease with 8 years remaining at £45,650 pa.

This is the first of 30 disposals (c.23,226 sq m/250,000 sq ft) of a phased relocation to a purpose-built World Headquarters campus on the north side of Newbury.

Nigel Aslin, Head of Strutt & Parker’s Corporate Real Estate Department who has recently opened his firm’s Newbury commercial office, comments:
“This swift letting to Mikom is a clear indication of how the Vodafone relocation process has opened up a remarkable number of opportunities for companies looking to move into and expand in the town. Newbury’s strategic location and excellent transport links have made it an exceptional business environment, and the fast turnaround of this deal is indeed a promising start towards the disposal of the remaining properties.”

Gareth Watson, Managing Director of Mikom UK Ltd, states:
“We are delighted by the speed and efficiency with which this deal was handled. Vodafone was able to quickly provide a first-rate property solution for our urgent office requirements and enabled a smooth transition between premises – even handing over the keys on a Saturday!”

Peter Brunsden & Associates acted for Mikom UK Ltd.
