Water firm signs deal for prominent Derby office building

A provider of water, wastewater and environmental services across the UK has secured a deal for a major office building in Derby, which will act as its regional headquarters.

MWH Treatment has agreed a lease on the 10,400 sq ft property in Sir Frank Whittle Road/Stores Road.

The building was originally leased by Barclays Bank as a banking centre but was more recently occupied by the Department for Work and Pensions for use as a JobCentre.

MWH Treatment, part of the RSK Group, has leased  the property as part of a strategic relocation and to create its own new regional headquarters, capable of accommodating its growing team and allowing for more collaboration, advanced technology integration and an enhanced working environment.

The letting was secured by Salloway Property Consultants.

Valery Shchukin, project manager at MWH Treatment, said: “We are thrilled to announce our move to this exceptional new facility and extend our heartfelt thanks to Salloway Property Consultants and the landlord for their unwavering support throughout the process.

“The seamless transition has allowed us to remain focused on what matters most – our team’s future.

“With its strategic location, modern design, and spacious layout, this new regional headquarters is perfectly tailored to support our growing team.

“Designed to foster collaboration and innovation, the space, enhanced by minor refurbishment and IT upgrades, provides the ideal environment for our expanding team and long-term vision.”

Hugo Beresford, associate director at Salloway Property Consultants, who acted on behalf of a private pension fund client, said “This letting represents one of, if not, the largest single office letting which occurred within Derby in the last 12 months and I am delighted that I was able to negotiate and agree terms with such a high-quality tenant.

“I wish MWH all the best with their new premises, which I am sure will be perfect for their purposes.

“They have significant plans for the building which I look forward to seeing come to fruition.”
