Local MP, Caroline Dinenage, was delighted to meet Casper Douglas Properties, the new owners of the Sanderson Centre.
The business centre, which is a hub for over 80 local businesses, recently celebrated it’s 50th anniversary and is planning renovations to incorporate more businesses.
Currently, the site boasts 200,000 sq. ft of space and 35,000 of unoccupied floor space, which will be refurbished to enable waiting businesses to operate from the fully serviced centre.
Meanwhile, strategies are being developed to modernise and improve the site for existing tenants, including the installation of new community areas, a new roof and new wiring which will be gently updated over time to ensure little disruption.
Caroline also met with a number of local businesses on the site including Miltools who have been operating from the Sanderson Centre for over 40 years and Tecmach, an engineering company with clients nationwide.
Speaking about the Sanderson Centre, Marie Claire Sherman owner of Tecmach said:
“It provides excellent business support and a host of resources under one roof. The team are here to help businesses succeed and are so accommodating to the needs of the owners. Our operations cover the whole of the UK and this can all be done from Gosport.”
Commenting after the visit, Caroline said:
‘It was great to hear about the plans to revitalise and redevelop the Sanderson Centre, while maintaining its value for money ethos.
I am pleased that the long-established and successful business centre will continue to help Gosport-businesses thrive and grow for many years to come.’
