Auctioneers in Victory Park

| ON THE MOVE: Clive Emson auctioneers pack up for the move to Whiteley. |
ONE of the UK's largest auction houses is the latest occupier at a new office park near South-ampton.
The Hampshire and Isle of Wight arm of Clive Emson Auctioneers has just moved into Victory Park in Whiteley after buying a freehold office. The firm bought the 1,324 sq ft ground floor unit for an undisclosed figure.
The firm has 40 staff and is a property and land auctioneer to estate agents, commercial property agents, statutory bodies and private clients.
So far 11 of the 14 self-contained offices at Victory Park -a £14m flagship scheme completed in July 2007 by UK office parks developer Business Homes - have been sold.
Initially four Clive Emson staff will be based at Victory Park - auctioneer Rob Marchant, valuer Andrew Rogers and back office operations team Lisa Marchant and Anne Al-Balushi.
Rob said: "We are thoroughly impressed by the office, the campus-like environment and its close proximity to the motorway."
"It is important to stress that the office won't be used for holding auctions."
Simon Houlston, chairman of Leeds-based Business Homes, which has 30 similar schemes across the UK, said: "We're nearly at the tremendous point of calling 'full house' at Victory Park, which is incredible bearing in mind the scheme was only launched last summer.
"I'm thrilled that Clive Emson Auctioneers has made Victory Park the focal point of its Hampshire operations."
The scheme is being jointly marketed by Southampton-to-Portsmouth business space specialist Hughes Ellard and King Sturge. Offices are available freehold or leasehold, with rents at £19.50 a square foot.
