The first phase of Orega's Colmore Plaza business centre in
Birmingham is now fully occupied following the signing of
recruitment company Idex.
The deal with Idex, which has taken 34 workstations for its new
Midlands head office, is the tip of a wave of activity at the
business centre this year. As a result, the first phase of 12,500
sq ft is now full, kick-starting a second phase of 7,500 sq ft
which is already generating interest.
Idex specialises in recruiting consultants in the insurance,
financial services and claims markets and is moving its Midlands
base from nearby Temple Row. Established in 2006, it also has
offices in Manchester and Bristol.
Other new signings this year include Freedom Recruitment, Branch
Martin Spicer Marketing, German insurance company HDI-Gerling,
P&C Financial Services and Hington Klarsey.
The business centre is located on the mezzanine floor of Colmore
Plaza with a separate reception area and meeting rooms on the
ground floor of the 14-storey, Grade 'A' office building. The
striking glass-fronted property is owned by The Carlyle Group and
has a BREEAM excellent rating.
Flexible office provider Orega has operated the business centre
in Colmore Plaza for just over a year. All nine of its business
centres share the same characteristics of high quality building and
distinctive interiors, a full range of meeting rooms and services
and an on-site team that is available to help with every aspect of
a client's office needs.
Caron Salter-Hill, Orega's sales and business centre manager in
Birmingham, says: "It has been a very good start to the year for us
and we hope to maintain the momentum with the second phase of the
business centre. New clients - some of whom have moved from rival
serviced office schemes - often cite quality of the building,
together with the highly professional welcome and help they
receive at Colmore Plaza, as a key factor in their decision to
move here. The flexibility of the offer and the sophisticated IT
and telecoms support they receive are also important in their
choice. We look forward to welcoming more new clients in the near
future."
