Industrious help business affected by Flooding - 18th July '07
Industrious have announced the arrival of their first flood victim tenant accepting the offer of free space.
Rotherham Borough Council contacted Industrious to see if we could help them with their immediate recovery needs after a storage unit used by the Museums, Galleries and Heritage section suffered damage caused by the recent flooding.
Their 5,000sq ft storage unit houses many artefacts from the town's Clifton Park Museum.
The Museum regularly rotates its exhibitions and those artefacts not in use at the Museum are housed in a separate storage facility in Rotherham, which following the exceptional rainfall was left under 1 metre of water during the recent floods.
Immediately following the floods, Mathew Halliwell, Industrious Regional Property Director met with Museum and Council representatives. It was decided without delay that they would take possession of 2 units of 1,500sqft at one of our estates. Mathew comments "due to the coverage of Industrious estates in the north, we could immediately accommodate Rotherham Museum's requirement to house those artefacts that they have managed to save from the devastating floods". Jonathan Marriott, co-ordinating the relocation from Rotherham Borough Council added that with Industrious free space initiative, a northern office and the "Disaster Recovery Lease", it has allowed us to move in within a week.
