Global equipment hire business Sunbelt Rentals has expanded its operations in Weymouth by relocating to a larger property on the Granby Trading Estate.

The new facility at 2-4 Albany Road was recently refurbished by DJ Property and comprises an 8,000 sq ft building with a large secure yard, upgraded facilities and better operational spaces for the firm.

This has led to the creation of three new positions within the company, with plans to recruit two additional staff soon.

Chris Jones, head of property at Sunbelt Rentals, said “Moving to a larger premises reflects our commitment to growth and will enable us to expand operations, enhance efficiency and support our ambitious future goals.”

Mick Adams, service centre manager for Weymouth, added: “This expansion is an exciting step forward for Sunbelt Rentals.

“Our upgraded facilities enable us to better serve our customers with a wider range of equipment while providing our team with a modern, efficient workspace.

“We’re delighted to contribute to the local economy and look forward to further growth in the region.”

Sunbelt Rentals has been a customer of DJ Property, which manages a portfolio of commercial units across South Dorset, for over 20 years.

Mickey Jones, chief executive of DJ Property, said: “We take great pride in supporting Sunbelt Rentals’ continued growth on the Granby Trading Estate.

“Their expansion at this key location reinforces the estate’s strategic position as the centre for business in South Dorset.

“Our long-standing relationship with Sunbelt Rentals reflects the strength of our partnership.

“It’s rewarding to see them continue to grow, delivering outstanding service while making a valuable contribution to the local economy.

“We’ve invested heavily in the refurbishment of this property – this included replacing the roofs, windows and all doors.

“We’re constantly investing in and upgrading our property portfolio to ensure it’s relevant for the future.”
