Indigo Fitness moved to 20,000ft
2 premises in 2018 after receiving support from the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) Growth Hub. After spending £700,000 on refurbishing the former Co-op distribution centre, the business is seeking planning approval to spend a further £1 million on building two more units for warehousing and assembly work (plus extra car-parking). The planned expansion would also lead to the creation of more jobs.
Indigo Fitness is a supplier of ‘strength and conditioning’ equipment to many elite sports teams. The company has also secured a contract with the Ministry of Defence, supplying fitness equipment to the military throughout the UK and international bases, as well as Royal Navy ships.
Indigo Fitness director Phil Littlewood said: “The plans involve building two units that would give us extra warehousing and assembly space for large projects. We are continuing to grow, with turnover this year expected to be over £4 million.
“We also have 30 staff, which we would like to increase to 35 with these plans. The Growth Hub has been with us every step of the way and their support has been invaluable.”
Gary Thyeson, account manager at the CWLEP Growth Hub, explained that Indigo Fitness was a business that had transformed a disused site into a thriving base. He said: “These plans will take the business to the next level since the company provides a service that not many of its competitors can offer — the design, manufacture and assembly of bespoke fitness equipment.
“It is great to see the business flourishing and if these plans are passed, it will enable Indigo Fitness to grow even further.”
