An Oswestry firm will host an open day to mark its relocation to a brand-new purpose-built building in October.

Aico, which supplies domestic smoke and carbon monoxide alarms will be relocating to its new three-storey base off the A483 on the Oswestry Industrial Estate.

To mark one of the biggest days in the company’s history and to celebrate the occasion, Aico has organised an Open Day for its employees and the community.

The glass fronted premises will include office space, an auditorium, warehouse facilities, a passenger lift to provide full accessibility throughout the building, a Centre of Excellence and car parking with wheelchair access spaces.

The Centre of Excellence is Aico’s state of the art training, meeting and demonstration facility, while the building houses a range of rooms and demonstration areas designed to support customers from across the industry.

It can also be offered out to local businesses and the community free of charge, where they can make use of various rooms to hold meetings and training sessions.

Managing director, Neal Hooper, commented: “After being at our current premises for more than 20 years and having undergone two extensions for our Centre of Excellence, we have outgrown our current space.

"We are excited that our new site will not only allow us to grow as a business; this growth will also bring new job opportunities to the community of Oswestry."

A picturesque landscape scheme has been developed to maximise use of the undeveloped areas of the site and incorporate a ‘trim trail’ and outside areas that can be enjoyed by staff and visitors alike for recreation and exercise.

There will also be a pond which will be an all-year water feature providing a natural wildlife habitat, surrounded by a wildflower meadow.

Aico currently employs 41 office and warehouse staff at its current base on the Mile End Business Park in Oswestry and 22 field-based staff.

If you would like to attend the Aico Open Day on Saturday, October 19, 2019, please feel free to come along. This will take place from 11am and 3pm at Maesbury Road, Oswestry, Shropshire, SY10 8NR.
