Seasalt Cornwall

Seasalt is one of Cornwall's success stories. In recent years the business has grown from a single shop in Penzance into a nationally recognised brand.

The company's success meant that by 2009 it had outgrown its warehouse and offices in Penzance and Falmouth and needed much larger centralised premises. We were tasked with finding a suitable building in the right location.

Brian Botting (right) & Leigh Chadwick outside the new premisesBrian Botting, Partner at Miller Commercial says "we needed to find a unit large enough to house the stock for Seasalt's growing wholesale and online markets. Having undertaken a comprehensive search of existing premises, we concluded the only viable option was to negotiate with developers for a brand new unit. We worked with Priority Sites to build an environmentally-friendly facility with more than 20,000 sq ft of storage at Treleigh Industrial Estate in Redruth. We also organised a Building Surveyor to oversee the work and make sure it was tailored to Seasalt's individual specifications".

Internal StorageSeasalt has now moved all its stock from Falmouth into the new warehouse. The whole process took 15 months from start to finish. Company Director, Leigh Chadwick, says "Miller Commercial held our hand throughout the process and the result is that we have ended up with a high specification distribution centre delivered in the right timescale at the right price. The building's green credentials match our company's ethos and with almost 25,000 sq ft of storage it should meet our needs for the next 5 years".
