As
Wessex Cancer Trust continues to expand its walk in support centres across the
south coast, it is to relocate his head office from central Southampton to
Chandler’s Ford and combine it with a new Cancer Support Centre.
Earlier
in the year commercial property consultant Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell was
tasked with finding new premises for Wessex Cancer Trust. In the last few
months, shop sites in Cosham and Waterlooville have both been secured and the
Cosham site includes a new walk-in Cancer Support Centre to offer a host of
free services and support for people living with or affected by any type of
cancer.
The
latest transaction sees Wessex Cancer Trust take a 10 year lease as it moves its
HQ to modern first floor offices on Winchester Road that were being marketed by
Keygrove Chartered Surveyors. The
offices are close to the town’s main shopping area and well positioned for the
South’s motorway network and rail links. The location will also provide another
new Cancer Support Centre
Cait
Allen, chief executive of Wessex Cancer Trust, said: “Moving our main office to
much larger premises in Chandler’s Ford which will also accommodate a new
Support Centre is a real milestone for Wessex Cancer Trust. Having recently
opened our new Cancer Support Centre in Cosham, we are continuing to expand our
patient services across Hampshire and into Dorset and Wiltshire. We are looking forward to further new sites
opening in the next 12 months in Salisbury and Bournemouth to help children and
families living with cancer.”
Stuart
Mitchell, Director of Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell who acted on behalf of
Wessex Cancer Trust, commented: “We are delighted to have been able to secure the
new HQ premises and Support Centre for Wessex Cancer Trust. As the charity
continues to grow and expand its much needed services across the region, we hope
to assist them again in the future.”
Keygrove
Chartered Surveyors Director Andrew Archibald who advised the landlord added:
“This is a great location which offers Wessex Cancer Trust much greater space
than its previous offices with good parking and excellent transport links to
other parts of the region it operates in.”
