Up to 30 jobs will be created at the new Midlands base for specialist charity fundraiser GoGen - which has taken 1,800 sq ft of refurbished office space at Castle Heights, Nottingham, in a deal done by Innes England.  

London-based GoGen, which looks to seek support for charities through face-to-face contact and by telephone, has selected the city centre property as its first Midlands site. 

GoGen managing director Dylan Harding said: "With our established contacts in the East Midlands, Nottingham seemed a perfect location to increase our presence. Over the last few years we have rapidly expanded and Nottingham will complement our Bristol and Bedford offices".  

GoGen is currently recruiting 25-30 new staff for the new Nottingham office. Many of these people will be working on telephones.

Dylan added: "The efficiency and speed in the conclusion of the deal was also a crucial factor in selecting Castle Heights as we were keen to be up and running as soon as possible. I am delighted that from start to finish the process took under four weeks."

The property deal was secured by Scott Osborne, surveyor at Innes England, who said: "The market continues to see improvements in many areas and we are experiencing consistent levels of demand for high quality and refurbished properties such as Castle Heights.

"Building on Nottingham's talent as a contact centre destination, GoGen will be joining companies like Domestic and General and Specsavers which operate in the city employing talented staff from the city and surrounding areas.

"Castle Heights offers a range of refurbished suites all finished to a very high standard and GoGen is the latest occupier to benefit from this." 

Innes England is joint letting agent with Lambert Smith Hampton for Castle Heights and continues to market the remaining 8,081 sq ft over three floors.
