Following its acquisition of Twyford Bathrooms last year and as part of Geberit’s ambitious growth plans, building work has begun on the manufacturer‘s new 22,500 square foot headquarters.
Geberit moved to its current bespoke built offices just seven years ago and is now building a premises that is twice the size. A significant investment for the company, the new head office is conveniently situated on the Tournament Fields business park, adjacent to the company’s current building, just off Junction 15 of the M40 motorway in Warwick.

Says the 700 Club’s CEO, Dr John Elliston: “Our building is now ideal for the very complex clients with whom we work. We are extremely grateful for all that we have received
from CRASH and their patrons and supporters, including Twyford. They have literally provided the building blocks for changing people’s lives.”
Bond It backs air ambulance with sponsored bike ride
Bond It recently sponsored a group of fundraisers to cycle 200 miles, from Thurstonland in West Yorkshire to Scarborough, North Yorkshire and back in aid of Martin Hanks - a 34-year-old tree surgeon from Thurstonland who was tragically killed in an accident at work in April 2015.
Its purpose was to raise money both for a trust fund for Martin’s two young children, aged four and one, and for the
Yorkshire Air Ambulance which attended the scene of Martin’s accident within minutes.
The event was dubbed the Coast to Roast due to the cyclists being joined at the finishing point – Martin’s local, the Rose and Crown pub in Thurstonland – by their family and friends for a
traditional Yorkshire roast dinner to celebrate their achievement and Martin’s life.
In total, 35 people took part, successfully raising almost £20,000. Bond It was one of a number of local businesses to make donations.
