Sheffield-based solicitors, Wake Smith, have played a pivotal role in aiding global healthcare equipment manufacturer and distributor, Sheffmed, to secure a new £850,000 headquarters in Rotherham.
The ISO-registered company, renowned for its distribution of ENT suctions and instruments worldwide, is transitioning to a more spacious setting within the Centurion Business Park, Rotherham.
Wake Smith provided legal guidance, steering Sheffmed through the commercial property intricacies of this significant move. Ben Spencer, Director of Wake Smith’s commercial property division, lent his expertise to the transaction, having previously assisted Sheffmed in acquiring their former base a decade ago.
The new 8,395 sq ft headquarters at Salisbury House offers the room Sheffmed needs to accommodate their growing team and resources. The relocation, slated for completion by November, involves warehouse modifications such as a mezzanine floor and clean room, crucial for their medical instrument operations.
Sonia Hobson, Managing Director of Sheffmed, said: “Ben Spencer at Wake Smith really looks after us and that is why we go back for our commercial property work. He provides information quickly and is always friendly and helpful when we need any advice.”
Ben said: “We’re pleased to have worked again with Sonia to bring the purchase to fruition. This is a growing firm and we wish Sonia and her team the best of luck in their new base.”
