We open our new 40,000sqft Cambridgeshire facility

April 28^th 2025 was a massive milestone in the evolution of our company, Trime UK. We are already one of the leading manufacturers of sustainable lighting towers, power generation machinery, and water treatment products, we officially opened our purpose-built 40,000 sqft facility based in the Hinchingbrooke Business Park, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

Hinchingbrooke Business Park has excellent transport links. It is conveniently situated near the A1(M) and A14 roads and Huntingdon has a railway station with direct trains to and from London and the North of England.

Cutting the ribbon was the former CEO of Trime, and rental industry stalwart, Ray Caulfield. Ray is a former European Rental Lifetime Achievement Award winner who decided to take retirement in 2023. Ray was delighted to make a return visit, following the invitation to be the master of ceremonies.

This new facility boasts a 20-person training room, which is available for our customers to hold sessions, meetings, and conferences. There is a workshop and classroom training area, where we will continue to deliver our accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training courses.

As we planned this new unit, careful consideration of the local environment was studied in our designs.

Included in the outside floorplan are Bat boxes, Sparrow boxes, Bee bombs (to attract insects), and a staff rest area set aside a herb garden with an array of lavender plants. There is also a hibernation hotel mound in the far corner of the yard.

We have planted a range of Carbon Sinking Plants including alliums and an Acer tree. These plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store it in their biomass (branches, roots, leaves) and the soil, effectively reducing atmospheric CO2 levels.

There are 6 no. EV charging points and power to the building are delivered via 48 no. Strategically installed solar panels are estimated to annually harvest 17000 kWh of electricity. The company is committed to 100% recycling all waste including; packaging, redundant spare parts, waste oils etc.

Commenting on this new facility, Paul Hay said, “This building will enhance our customer support, with in-stock availability of lighting towers and generators alongside a large product demonstration area. The company has invested over £2.5m in this facility which helps to cement our position as the number one supplier of lighting towers and power generation products.”
