Easter Group officially unveiled its new 155,000 sq ft Easter Park industrial development, at Beam Reach, Rainham, Essex, at an open day and launch ceremony on Wednesday 16th May 2007. Over 70% of the park has been sold or is under offer.
The official ribbon cutting, by Aman Dalvi of Gateway to London, and Peter Taylor and Mike Forster of Easter Group, took place at lunchtime. Over 90 guests were treated to a racing theme with Formula One simulator and impressive eight lane Scalextric model car racing competition prior to lunch.
Peter Taylor, managing director at Easter Group, commented: “We really enjoyed launching this development; Easter’s units always maintain high design standards and offer attractive work spaces and it was a great opportunity for us to show guests this firsthand. The development has contributed to regenerating the area and it will provide many employment opportunities.”
The visit also provided an opportunity to view Easter’s instalment of ‘Quietrevolution’ wind turbines. This modern twist on the traditional turbine structure enables the turbine to take advantage of the varying wind directions through its clever design of a triple blade helix on a vertical axis. The turbine greatly reduces noise and vibration by spinning around its centre, with the tips of the propeller slicing through the air at a slower speed.
A special guest at the launch was James Birch, European Go-Karting Champion in 2005 and leading Vee Chamionship racer this season. Easter is delighted to be supporting James in his motorsport career.
Easter Park lies within an established industrial area and enjoys immediate access to the recently improved A13, giving fast connections to the City of London, M25 (five miles from Junction 30) and the A406 North circular (six miles).
