Leicester-based Camloc Motion Control, which manufactures gas springs and dampers, has taken a new 10-year lease on its headquarters, which will include £170,000 worth of improvements to both offices and the shopfloor (including a new roof that provides natural lighting on the shopfloor, double-glazed windows throughout, a new entrance porch and major electrical works).

The company underwent a management buy-out last year, having secured investment from the Foresight Group.

Finance director Julie Barker (pictured), who was part of the MBO team, says the new lease reinforces the team’s commitment to the long-term success of the company. “When we first bought the company just over a year ago, we were keen to invest in it. These improvements are long overdue, but they will have a hugely positive impact on everyone.

“Camloc Motion Control is a thriving business with a bright future, and it’s great to be able to reassure our staff and customers that our Leicester headquarters will continue to be our home for at least the next decade.”
