Nationwide LPG supplier AvantiGas has kept faith with the company’s Chesterfield roots by moving more than 100 employees to a new 23,000 sq. ft. open-plan, fourbuilding complex in Staveley – and logistics form a major part of the company’s expansion plans as it continues to build its presence in the FLT market.
The LPG company has achieved spectacular growth since it took over the former Shell LPG business in November 2011. With staffing levels rising by 12% in 2016 alone, AvantiGas had completely outgrown its former head office in nearby Bolsover.
“Since the inception of AvantiGas our workforce has increased by 45%, and we have many additional growth opportunities which we want to pursue but which had been hampered by lack of space,” said Managing Director, Neil Murphy.
AvantiGas is currently refreshing its marketing materials and its health and safety content for FLTs, which form an increasingly significant market for the company. AvantiGas B2B Marketing Executive Alex Harrison said: “We see huge potential for working with new and existing customers in the FLT market and our continuing expansion is bringing us new opportunities to meet their needs.”
MD Neil Murphy added: “Enhancing customer service was also a key consideration in making this substantial investment. Continuous improvement in customer service is what we strive for. With more space to expand we can throw away a lot of the old legacy systems and invest in new customer-friendly IT systems and processes, as well as investing in more people to deliver improved service levels.”
The new headquarters has been completely refurbished and will provide space to grow new ventures as well as accommodating the continuing expansion of the company’s core LPG business.
“It’s something to be proud of, and we have moved in on-budget and ahead of schedule. The hard-working AvantiGas team has earned the right to work in a superior environment which is very 21st-century. The new head office is bigger, more modern, works more fluidly and respects people’s space,” said Neil.
