We are delighted to announce that we have now completed the purchase of CAMRA’s new premises in Luton. This is by far the largest acquisition CAMRA has ever made and we are extremely pleased to be able to bring the office and the warehouse together under one roof, based at Unit 9, Finway, Dallow Road, Luton, LU1 1TR .

The Campaign will no longer have to lease warehouse space, making it more economically viable for us in the long-term.

We now have access to the warehouse and the Property Implementation Group is now working towards the fit out of the new premises to ensure a smooth transition from our current properties.

The team is focusing on the warehouse as we intend to leave our current site by the end of July. This is to ensure the move is as seamless as possible, providing the best possible experience for our volunteers and the services we offer to CAMRA branches and festivals. The bigger and improved warehouse space will make it easier for volunteers to order kit and equipment, giving CAMRA a larger space and ensuring a better experience to organise and ship merchandise from our shop. The warehouse space will make equipment more accessible, allow us to store more equipment and it will have a dedicated repair station.

A number of members of staff are now working at the warehouse to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible as we make the transition. Once work on the warehouse is complete, we will turn out attention to the new office space, which is likely to begin late summer. Hatfield Road will be put up for sale shortly and any further updates will be given over the coming months.
