Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP has moved into a prominent office building in the centre of Nottingham, cementing its commitment to the East Midlands market.
The circa 90-strong East Midlands team represents all key service lines across Audit, Advisory and Tax and the new location supports the continued growth strategy of BDO in the region.
The new East Midlands hub – 3,500 sq ft of commercial space at Water Court on Canal Street – will see BDO join the likes of global law firm Eversheds Sutherland at the high-profile city centre location, which is in close proximity to the Broadmarsh regeneration development – a green, pedestrian-friendly public space.
A comprehensive fit out of the former Victorian warehouse provides BDO with a modern, collaborative working space, consistent with the firm’s commitment to its agile working approach.
Andrew Mair, head of BDO in the East Midlands, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to move into our new East Midlands hub – a vibrant location that places us at the heart of Nottingham, providing us with a strong local presence and access to some of the region’s most entrepreneurial and fast-growing businesses.
“We remain committed to the East Midlands market and recognise the potential that exists across key sectors and specialisms, whether they’re owner-managed businesses, private equity-backed companies with an ambition to scale up or listed businesses. This move cements our desire to grow those relationships and support businesses on that strategic journey.”
Nationally, BDO has committed £10 million to fund investment in technology over the next few years and more than £8 million to repurpose its office spaces.
Kyla Bellingall, partner and head of the Midlands at BDO LLP, said: “As the firm continues to invest in agile working, we wanted to create a flexible and inclusive space that offers our team the very best in hybrid working.
“The new East Midlands hub allows employees to combine both home and office working, perfectly blending individual learning, collaboration, increased levels of productivity and digital connectivity in the most appropriate and effective way. The results of months of hard work are fantastic and create a truly unique environment for our East Midlands team.”
