A Suffolk-based education trust has moved into new headquarters in time for the start of the new academic year.

Unity Schools Partnership has relocated its headquarters within Haverhill from the former Parkway Middle School site in Park Road to a modern building in Homefield Road on the southern edge of the town.

Eddisons acted as sole agent on behalf of the landlord in the lettings deal, which sees the trust take a new lease on 6,187sq ft of accommodation in a property that forms part of a small development of commercial premises known as ‘The Roadside’.

The building had previously been in use as a day care nursery for young children.

Unity Schools Partnership had been seeking more-suitable, modern premises within Haverhill in which to relocate its head office operations for a number of months before securing its new base.

Tim Coulson, chief executive of Unity Schools Partnership, said: “We had long identified the need to move the head office of the trust.

“We wanted something that would be more befitting our agile and growing organisation, while remaining in our home town of Haverhill.

“We are delighted with the new facilities offered at Homefield Road. They are a great base for our central team as well as providing ample space for meetings of all sizes.”

Speaking about the letting of the Homefield Road premises, Eddisons’ Ben Green added: “The trust has an established association with Haverhill and we’re happy to have played our part, on behalf of the landlord, in securing it as the new – and very suitable – tenant for the property.”
