RH Amar has signed a deal which will see it move to a new 94,756 sq ft state-of the-art facility in High Wycombe at the end of the year.
The move follows a period of significant growth and expansion for the UK food distributor and growth partner which has seen it achieve double-digit growth in each of the past five years, with new business wins including Weetabix, Dr. Oetker and Divine Chocolate.
The new home for the third-generation family business will provide a high-specification facility with increased warehouse capacity and more office space, while continuing to provide the excellent transport links of its current HQ less than a mile from M40 Junction 4 on the outskirts of High Wycombe.
Rob Amar, Managing Director, RH Amar said:
“We are excited to be a step forward to a new headquarters which will enable us to further build on the success we’ve achieved with our brand partners and customers. The premises are being purpose-built to support our expanding operations and will provide the foundation we need to realise our long-term growth ambitions and those of our brand partners."
He added, “As we celebrate 80 years in business, this move is a significant milestone in the history of our family business, and we look forward to calling this new building our home at the end of the year.”
The sustainable headquarters have been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating, EPC A+ scores, and will be net zero carbon in construction – all underpinning RH Amar’s commitment to being a sustainable business.
RH Amar works with some of the UK’s best-loved food names, including Del Monte, Mutti and Weetabix, alongside smaller specialist brands - working in partnership to successfully grow brands across the UK market with distribution, sales, marketing and technical support and expertise.
RH Amar’s new premises are owned by Railpen, manager of the £34bn railways pension scheme in the UK. The state-of-the-art facility is being rebranded to High Wycombe X, joining Railpen’s growing portfolio of X-branded industrial parks. RH Amar will be the anchor occupier for the new development, situated on High Wycombe’s wider Cressex Estate.
