Grown-at-home Yaxley gas services business relocates to its first business premises

After 16 years’ trading, Mark Abraham Gas Services, which has seven members of staff, has agreed a deal to buy the freehold of a 1,479 sq ft unit in Talon Court, at Eagle Business Park, in Yaxley.

The purchase also sets the business up for possible further expansion over the next few years.

Owner Mark Abraham said: “We have been trading for 16 years and with seven employees, the time had come to invest in stand-alone premises in order for the business to be in a position to consider expansion in the years to come.

He said: “We wanted to move to a local base from which to serve our existing residential customer base plus look to future growth.

Mr Abraham added: “With Eagle Business Park on our home doorstep, we knew it was the right time in the company’s lifecycle and the right premises for making a freehold purchase.”

The value of the purchase for the terraced unit, which features CCTV, security fencing and parking,has not been disclosed.

The sale was overseen by the Peterborough office of Eddisons incorporating Barker Storey Matthews.

Eddisons partner, Richard Jones added, “Mark Abraham’s company joins a number of local owner-occupiers who have freeholds at Eagle Business Park - at units on the established schemes of the park, such as Talon Court, and also at the development’s new-build courtyard schemes.”
