Pets at Home has taken 9,598 sq ft of office space at Stanley Court located on Handforth's prominent Stanley Green Business Park which is owned and managed by South Manchester landlord Orbit Developments.
Pets at Home who offer 'the ultimate pet shop experience' already has a headquarters building located on the Handforth-based business park. Due to ambitious growth, the retailer required office space to accommodate up to 90 colleagues whilst being in the immediate vicinity of their other facility.
Orbit Developments worked closely with the group during their expansion plans and were able to offer Stanley Court. The three-storey building is currently in the process of being upgraded and refurbished as part of Orbit's on-going investment programme.
Graham Harrison, Head of Property at Pets at Home commented: "We are pleased to announce our growth plans and have secured additional office space with Orbit Developments to accommodate our expansion. Stanley Court will be used as a base for administrative purposes as well as training facilities for our customer facing colleagues to ensure our customers continue to receive the best possible service."
Paul McLeman, Director of Orbit Developments commented: "We are delighted to be able to assist Pets at Homes with suitable office space after working closely with them for some time."
The pet retailer has recently hailed strong revenue growth driven by the success of its customer membership scheme, VIP Club, strength in sales of its Advanced Nutrition food range, as well as growth in its pet grooming business and vet practices.
The first half of the financial year 2015 saw Pets at Home add 10 stores, 25 veterinary practices and 23 Groom Rooms to its portfolio. The full financial year target is for 25 new stores, 60 new veterinary practices and 50 new Groom Room salons. Pets at Home now have more than 380 stores across the UK.
