​Project Completion – New Headquarters and Warehouses, Gillingham for MEMS Power Generation

We are delighted to have successfully handed over this new headquarters building and warehouse facility in Gillingham to our client, MEMS Power Generation.

The new HQ offers up-to-date office facilities, both open plan and cellular, alongside impressive meeting rooms, training rooms, canteen, IT, storage and archive space. The new warehouse offers ample storage capacity, ensuring that MEMS can efficiently manage its inventory and logistics operations.

This highly-sustainable building is equipped with a significant solar PV array, making it energy-autonomous and reflecting MEMS dedication to minimising its environmental impact by generating and sustaining its own energy needs.

Working in partnership as long-standing Kent-based businesses, WW Martin and MEMS are proud to have made a meaningful investment in the local economy by prioritising local suppliers and contractors throughout the construction process.

• Concrete from the local depot in Cliffe arrived there by ship
• The waste recycling company is based in Swanscombe
• The bricks were sourced from Ebbsfleet and Tilbury
• The roofing and cladding contractors are Kent-based, along with the window supplier
• The electrical, mechanical and BMS contractors are all Kent-based.

In total, over 50 local contractors worked on the project from start to finish, showcasing a strong commitment to employing and supporting local talent.

MEMS investment in their new headquarters underlines their dedication to their staff, clients, and the local community. These high-quality facilities will enable continued expansion and success within Kent, reinforcing MEMS role as a key player in the county’s economic landscape.

The project exemplifies a collaborative effort between ourselves and the client to create a cutting-edge, sustainable environment that meets the needs of today while preparing for future growth, and highlights a shared commitment to operational excellence, sustainability, and local economic development.
