Growth prompts gas turbine servicing company’s move to new Lincoln premises
Business growth has prompted a move to a new premises at Teal Park, Lincoln by the largest independent gas turbine service provider in mainland Europe, as the county's economy continues to capitalise from ongoing and new opportunities in the onshore and offshore energy sector.
Gas Turbine Services, part of the Anglo-Danish HKJ Group, has secured a new lease on 13,347 sq ft of industrial accommodation on Teal Park, Whisby Road, Lincoln.
Gas Turbine Services was established over 30 years ago. Headquartered in Esbjerg, Denmark, it has been operationally based in the Lincoln area for the past 16 years.
The firm is moving from its current Leafbridge Business Park premises to Teal Park - the latter is regarded as the epicentre of industrial gas turbine maintenance in the Lincoln area.
The move to Teal Park follows identification by the business, two years ago, that its Leafbridge Business Park facility would limit future expansion, not only in engine throughput but also in responsiveness to the ongoing changes and competitive demands of the energy market.
The new base at Teal Park sees Gas Turbine Services move to a facility which was originally built and designed for the express purpose of gas turbine support & maintenance and,according to Robert Dye, Technical Director and co-owner, the new base means a swift and seamless transition to meet the company's current and future expansion requirements.
He explains, "For our specific sector specialisation, there was never any question of relocating outside of the Lincoln area - especially taking into account the wealth of local expertise and knowledge as we recruit and expand our business."
Our Director, William Wall, who led the property deal on behalf of the landlord, added, "Gas turbines are one of the long-established specialisms of the manufacturing sector in Lincoln and the surround area."
"The county's position on the map, with access to the east coast ports and a road network to the engineering hinterland of the East Midlands, makes it a prime location for operators in the energy sector."
"The longevity of Gas Turbine Services' presence in Lincolnshire is a testament to that."
