STIHL GB proudly announces the grand opening of Contra House, our new purpose-built head office and state-of-the-art distribution centre. This marks a significant step forward in our journey of innovation and service excellence.
Hosted by Dr. Nikolas Stihl, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the STIHL Group, the opening ceremony celebrated a major milestone in our company's long history. Named in homage to the iconic STIHL Contra chainsaw, this 11,500m² facility provides unparalleled support to our dealers and end users.
Home to over 100 staff, Contra House is designed to enhance operational efficiency, customer service, and employee well-being.
The site features:
• Best-in-class dealer training facilities and a studio
• Collaborative workspaces
• An on-site restaurant
• A fully fitted technical workshop
These facilities ensure seamless support for our 700-strong Approved Dealer network.
Our 9,000m² distribution centre is the heart of Contra House, boasting next-generation picking and storage systems. By consolidating logistics onto one site, we can streamline operations, resulting in faster and more efficient deliveries.
Contra House also stands out for its dedication to sustainability. The facility has achieved BREEAM Certification, featuring:
• Photovoltaic solar panels covering two-thirds of the roof area
• 21 electric vehicle charging points
These features align with STIHL GB's commitment to responsible business practices.
The official opening event, attended by over 160 guests, also highlighted STIHL GB’s partnership with Perennial, the UK’s only charity dedicated to helping people in horticulture. Our team will volunteer in various fundraising activities to support the charity’s mission to provide free and confidential advice, information, and support to those working in or retired from horticulture and their families.
