Haven Power was launched in 2006 specifically to serve
the electricity needs of small to medium sized business
customers and to provide them with an alternative to
the large multi-national power suppliers. The company
has almost become the victim of its own success in that,
originally, EWS acquired for it the lease on a new purpose-built
10,000 sq ft headquarters building on Ransomes Europark
but within only two years the company has outgrown the
building and needed additional space. This has been
provided temporarily in a nearby serviced office building
but following negotiations with Maro Developments who
developed the original building, terms have been agreed
for their existing lease to be surrendered and, following
its completion, Haven Power will be taking a new lease
on a building of over 20,000 sq ft plus additional land
for overflow parking and support purposes.
Maro Developments' original blueprint plan for the
part of Ransomes Europark where Haven Power are located
was for the development of a number of individual self-contained
office buildings on a site appropriately named as "Havens".
The Haven Power success story has however meant that
the entire Havens site has been allocated to become
Haven Power's headquarters comprising not only the extended
building of 20,000 sq ft but also scope for a further
extension in the event of the company outgrowing this
as well. The new extension is due to be completed by
Autumn 2011.
EWS's role on Haven Power's behalf primarily related
to negotiating the terms of the lease on the new extended
building but is also included a site search to explore
whether an alternative existing building was available
which could have suited their requirements, general
advice over design aspects based on our experience of
advising a wide range of office occupiers seeking new
accommodation and space planning input, a service that
EWS is now able to provide to its clients to assist
them in translating their operational requirements into
a cohesive and efficient office fit-out / furniture
layout plan..
In 2010 EWS also acquired for Haven Power leasehold
office premises in Chelmsford for an Essex-based sales
office.
