Farsound relocates
The Farsound team has moved into its new 5,389 sqm headquarters in Brentwood Essex, UK. The state-of-the art property is located close to Farsound’s old HQ building and has been designed and built entirely from scratch.
The building, which is considerably bigger than the previous HQ, has capacity for expansion, with scope to add mezzanine floors and additional facilities as the company grows and recruits more people across all departments and disciplines.
The property has been designed with sustainability and eco-friendly construction at its heart. Solar panels on the roof provide electricity for power and lighting, EV charge points are installed in the car park for electric vehicles, and reclaimed greywater will be used for flushing toilets.
Technology also plays a large part with a focus on the latest IT and logistics systems. For example, the operations area in the new HQ building includes a GBP 1.2 million (EUR 1.4 million) robotic system for the automatic picking of aerospace parts.
The building is the largest premises owned by the aviation and MRO logistics specialist company, which operates out of facilities in UK, USA, Canada, Spain, Japan and Singapore. (ben)
