Elekta a manufacturer of treatment solutions for cancer and brain disorders, has purchased the Gateway site in Crawley.
This landmark site is adjacent to Elekta’s UK head office on Fleming Way, and overlooks the roundabout at the junction of Fleming Way and London Road.
The two hectare (five acre) site is about three miles North of the centre of Crawley. It was bought in a £4.2 million deal handled by property adviser Vail Williams from owner-manager and developer of industrial property company Segro.
“We are delighted to be making this massive investment in the local economy,” says Bill Yaeger, executive vice president Elekta Oncology. “We have specific and significant plans for further investment in the site which will effectively future proof Elekta’s commitment to Crawley and the South East for many years to come.”
In September last year Elekta – an employer of over 800 people in Crawley – received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2013 for International Trade. In March, Elekta won the the award for Supply Chain Excellence at the prestigious annual Gatwick Diamond Business Awards 2014 in recognition of its engagement supporting local industry. Elekta also won the Made in the South East awards and an Institute of Export award.
Elekta will reveal further plans for the site in the coming months.
