Coventry officially welcomes QED’s international business headquarters
In exciting news this September, Coventry officially welcomed the opening of a new global business as part of a multi-million-pound investment into the region.
QED Environmental Systems relocated to Coventry from Leamington Spa following a recent acquisition of Geotech in 2016. The 25,000 sq. ft. facility will now serve as the brand’s official international headquarters and is home to over 50 employees. It boasts a newly designed open plan office, kitted out with state-of-the-art equipment manufacturing and servicing equipment, including an ISO:17025 calibration laboratory to support the gas instrumentation business.
The new premises also offer employees with ample space to conduct one-to-one product training and seminars on a whole host of topics.
The building was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Coventry, Councillor John Blundell and was attended by special representatives from the brand’s global distributor and supplier network.
Councillor John Blundell, said: “QED’s success story is nothing short of spectacular. The company has grown from strength to strength and is evidenced by this state-of-the-art facility and its aspiration to be a hub of advanced environmental equipment not just in the UK but internationally as well. We welcome QED’s presence to Coventry and have no doubt that they will continue to grow strong over the coming months.”
Dean Kavanagh, Managing Director at QED took visitors through the strategy and thinking behind the layout and architecture of the building. Building on the brand’s ethos to break barriers and innovate new technology, the new offices are set to encourage creative thinking and enhanced team spirit.
Dean said: “We are very fortunate to have found such a convenient and well served space. Coventry’s rich manufacturing heritage and popularity both in terms of culture and skill make it the perfect location to execute our vision as a world class environmental technology business. Our new location and enhanced operational facilities will help us to continue to grow and develop within an ever-changing industry landscape and we could not be more excited.”
“I must commend the hard work of the entire team here at QED. We have worked together to ensure a seamless transition for our entire network or suppliers and customers and am confident that we will continue to go above and beyond in our service to them in the future.”
