North England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists acquires former Vertex building at Sherwood Park

NG Chartered Surveyors, working jointly with FHP Property Consultants, has completed the sale of the former Vertex building on Evo Business Park at Sherwood Park, Nottinghamshire, to the North England Conference of the Seventh-day Adventists.

The value of the deal is undisclosed.

The fully fitted, high-quality Grade A detached office building – extending to 2,075 sq m (22,335 sq ft) – provides immediate access to Junction 27 of the M1 motorway and offers 130 car parking spaces. The property underwent substantial refurbishment prior to sale and was available for immediate occupation.

The North England Conference of the Seventh-day Adventists will relocate its headquarters to the Vertex building later this year. The organisation, which serves a network of churches, schools, and community initiatives across the North of England, said the move will provide a modern, accessible base for its growing operations.

Michael Agyei-Asare, Chief Financial Officer of the North England Conference of the Seventh-day Adventists, said: “Our current office space no longer meets our needs, and we have been looking for a new home that reflects both our growth and our mission. Vertex offers a modern and accessible setting that will become our new headquarters – housing our administrative offices, leadership and volunteer training, and a range of programmes designed to support both church and community needs.

“The move to Sherwood Park will allow us to bring our teams together under one roof, strengthen collaboration, and expand our capacity to deliver high-quality programmes in areas such as youth development, family support, and health and wellbeing. We are excited about the opportunities this new home will create, enabling us to serve our members and communities more effectively in the years ahead.”

Agyei-Asare also praised NG Chartered Surveyors for their role in completing the transaction: “Working with Richard Sutton at NG Chartered Surveyors has been an exceptionally positive experience. He was approachable, straightforward, and consistently professional – offering sound advice and steady support throughout the process. His expertise helped steer this transition to a smooth and successful close, and we are grateful for his contribution to this important chapter in our organisation’s journey.”

Richard Sutton, Managing Director of NG Chartered Surveyors, said: “We’re delighted to have acted on this deal and to have supported the North England Conference in finding a new home that aligns perfectly with their operational and community-focused needs. Vertex is a superb building in an established business park location, offering excellent connectivity and high-quality accommodation. It’s fantastic to see such a well-respected organisation investing in Nottinghamshire and securing a property that will serve them for many years to come.”

Mark Tomlinson, Director at FHP, said: “This latest sale at Evo Park marks the continued strategy of our client M7 Real Estate, to sell individual buildings within the wider scheme to owner-occupiers. Opportunities to acquire high-quality premises of this nature remain limited in the area and Vertex, which underwent a comprehensive multi-million-pound refurbishment by the previous tenant, offers some of the best quality office accommodation available in North Nottinghamshire. I’m sure the building will serve the purchaser well for their requirements going forwards.”

Evo Business Park forms part of the established Sherwood Business Park to the north of Nottingham, home to major occupiers including Pendragon, Highways England, Countrywide Surveyors and Zeppelin Systems.
