Energy company expands at Stoneleigh Park

The future is looking green for the UK branch of an international renewable energy company after it expanded its Warwickshire-based offices and team.

agriKomp, which sells and installs biogas plants for farms, has enlarged its offices at Stoneleigh Park to cater for increased demand in business across the UK.

The firm has taken the last remaining floor of its building at Stoneleigh Park meaning it will grow its floor space and workforce by 30 per cent.

Steven Cook, operations director of agriKomp, said: “We have recently successfully completed a number of large projects which means the demand for servicing the new plants is greater than ever.

“We chose to expand our premises in Stoneleigh Park, rather than move, for a number of reasons. It is in an ideally-located, central setting and is also a hub for renewable energy, sustainability and biotechnology industries so perfectly fits our agricultural ethos.”

agriKomp currently employs 18 staff in Stoneleigh and more than 800 worldwide and has on its books projects throughout Europe including operations in Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy and France.

Colin Hooper, estates director at Stoneleigh Park, said: “It is great to hear of another agri-techcompany thriving here.

“LaSalle Investment Management, which manages Stoneleigh Park, refurbished agriKomp’s building two years ago, and it is really encouraging to see it grow and take on all the space for its UK headquarters.

“The company’s activities fit in perfectly with our long term aims for Stoneleigh Park as an internationally-renowned centre of rural and farming excellence.”
