A growing firm has moved to Derby's Derwent Business Centre to give it further room for expansion.

inniAccounts, founded in 2005, was originally based in Shepshed, Leicestershire, but needed a larger workplace with the flexibility to house a growing workforce.

Currently a team of seven, the company plans to take on another member of staff this year, as well as expecting to create three more positions next year.

The converted Victorian warehouse, managed by specialist property developer Blueprint, fitted the bill.

Director and co-founder of inniAccounts Matt Poyser said: "Our growing team was one of the drivers for our move. With plans to expand our client base over the coming years, the Derwent Business Centre is a perfect venue to achieve that, with larger suites being available as the team expands."

Mr Poyser described the firm's new offices as "fantastic".

He said: "What struck us about the Derwent Business Centre was the way it meets the needs of small and growing businesses. It is a fantastic place to base a small business. It is spacious, modern and full of character." 

inniAccounts has already hired a new qualified accountant.

Sustainable developer Blueprint is best known for major urban regeneration schemes such as Nottingham Science Park and Phoenix Square digital media centre in Leicester. It has invested continually in Derwent Business Centre since acquiring the premises six years ago. 

The building is part of Blueprint's £19 million property portfolio, which includes estates across Derby and Derbyshire and the rest of the East Midlands.
