Cosalt makes historic move from Docks

The group, which started life in the 19th Century as The Great Grimsby Coal, Salt and Tanning Company, is moving from its Fish Dock Road home to Origin 4 at the nearby greenfield Europarc development. The relocation will be the first time Cosalt has moved from Grimsby Docks.

Chief executive Mark Lejman said: "While the old building has served us well for many years it no longer meets the needs of a growing international business.

"It is important that our offices reflect a more collaborative working style where it is easy for people to share information and work together in an open plan arrangement.

"Origin 4 provides everyone with a better working space and easier road access. It will help us run the business more efficiently."

The office, on two floors, includes rainwater harvesting and rooftop solar water heating panels.

Initially it will house about 45 staff.

Cosalt added that its Wickham Road branch and liferaft service station is unaffected by the move.
