Water safety firm Nant moves to new HQ

A specialist provider of water safety services has moved its head office to new premises in the latest phase of its growth plans. Nant, which works with clients such as care homes, restaurants and hotel chains, has relocated to a larger site at the Development Centre at University of Wolverhampton Science Park.

The new site comprises 4,600 sq ft office space and a 530 sq ft workshop. The business was previously based in Broad Street, Bilston.

The move follows the company recently increasing its team and diversifying into new markets such as gas safety services which it said had seen rapid growth since being launched in 2020. Nant now uses remote monitoring across a range of client sites to provide live updates on building safety which enables it to cut down on its carbon footprint and allows staff to focus on repairs.

It also said it was investing in apprenticeships and staff development and had recently recruited a people and culture manager to assist with the recruitment of technical roles. The company was originally founded in 1994 to provide Legionella control services.

Director Richard Deakin said: "Our move to the science park represents the next chapter in our journey and will enable us to fulfil our growth plans over the coming years. The growing number of people and the skills they offer will be firmly at the heart of our success.

"Moving our HQ to larger premises connected to the university and its network puts us in a strong position as we grow our team further to realise the opportunities ahead."

Nigel Babb, commercial director at University of Wolverhampton Science Park, added: "It is a pleasure to welcome Nant to their new home. Since we opened the site in 1995, we have seen many Black Country businesses thrive here so we look forward to seeing Nant prosper and take advantage of the various collaboration opportunities we can provide."
