Raynsway Accommodates NHS Increase
Leicester’s largest provider of community healthcare services has increased its presence at Bridge Business Park in Thurmaston after agreeing a deal with commercial property developer Raynsway Properties.
The head office of the Leicester City Community Health Service now occupies the X sq ft Riverside House in addition to its existing office at Bridge Park Plaza, both of which are on Bridge Park Road, housing a total number of 324 employees.
Up to 45 of these employees are from the service’s human resources, training and finance departments, which have relocated to this additional space from St John’s House on East Street in the city centre. They have joined the existing NHS services on site such as the Diana Nursing Service, Adult Community Health Services, clinical records, The Directorate of Quality and Development and senior management.
Managing Director Paul Miller comments, “We required further space to accommodate staff who are relocating from the city and others who are temporarily displaced from their usual offices due to a programme of refurbishments. Riverside House was an obvious solution for us, being conveniently adjoined to our original office. We're fortunate that the site overlooks the River Soar and the Grand Union Canal at Watermead Country Park which makes for a very pleasant working environment."
Tom Watkinson, Managing Director of Raynsway Properties, which owns and manages the business park, comments, “We are delighted to be able to accommodate Paul and his staff as they look to expand their presence here at Bridge Business Park. Riverside House is one of our strongest buildings featuring a stunning outlook onto the adjacent river and meadow and offers a modern and professional working environment.”
Opportunities to lease industrial units and office space from 1,440sq ft currently remain at both Lakeside Business Park and Bridge Park Business Park. For further information please telephone 0116 269 4002 or visit www.raynswayproperties.co.uk.
Originally established by Charlie Rayns in the 1970’s, Raynsway Properties also owns the 27-acre landmark Watermead Business Park, located just off the A607 in Syston, which offers bespoke opportunities for businesses of both regional and national importance.
