Ecological Building Systems, a leading supplier of natural building products for sustainable construction, has doubled the size of its premises by acquiring a new warehouse and office unit adjacent to its existing facilities in Cardewlees in Carlisle.
The company has relocated its sales, logistics and purchasing teams into the newly refurbished 40,000 sq ft space, as part of its growth and expansion plans.
Penny Randell, Director of Ecological Building Systems, said; “We are entering an exciting new era due to increasing demand for more sustainable building products from self builders and the wider construction industry. Our expansion into new premises will give us the extra capacity we need to support our customers as the business continues to grow. Doubling our warehousing space also means we can introduce efficiencies across our business operations for the benefit of our customers.”
Ecological Building Systems has recently appointed six new staff, including additions to its technical team, purchasing, warehousing and sales. The company plans to create a number of new jobs in the local area, including marketing and technical roles. Anyone interested should visithttps://www.ecologicalbuildingsystems.com/careers
Within the new premises, Ecological Building Systems has established a showroom which demonstrates its range of natural building products, including insulation materials, airtight and weathertight membranes and ventilation and extraction systems. The showroom is open to self-builders, home renovators and professionals by appointment during our opening hours. The company has ambitious plans to continue to invest in and extend its training facilities in the future.
Penny Randell adds: “The extended premises have given us the space to create a comprehensive showcase of products, systems and training facilities, making them accessible to all our customers. This will become our ‘showroom for the north’ being easily accessible to customers in Northern England and Scotland, to complement our southern presence at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre in Swindon.”
