independent property, construction, and infrastructure consultancy Pick Everard has moved its Derby operation to Sadler Bridge Studios, part of the Connect Derby portfolio of managed workspaces.
The company is making the move from Kenning Studios on Queen Street to Sadler Bridge Studios as part of a wider national office strategy enabling the business to adopt more agile and collaborative ways of working for its growing 650-plus work force; specifically for its team of 30 based at the Derby Studio.
The Derby office directly supports a range of commissions with important locally based clients including Bowmer + Kirkland, Rolls-Royce, Nottingham Trent University, Leicester Tigers, Derbyshire County Cricket Club and PMI Developments.
Sadler Bridge Studios is located in the heart of Derby’s commercial district, close to shops, bars, and public transport links. The purpose-built workspace was constructed in 2014 and has 35 units in a three-storey modern multi-occupancy office building. SBS also contains RASK, a Scandinavian-style café on the ground floor.
Partner David Nisbet said: “The location of our new home in the heart of the city is perfect for us, and the facilities are ideal for our evolving office portfolio.
“Our aim is to provide outstanding services to our clients and communities, developing our agile and collaborative style of working.
“The team at Connect Derby has been very accommodating and have enabled us to achieve a seamless transition into our new office space.
Ann Bhatti, head of Connect Derby, added: “I’d like to welcome such a long-standing and well-established business as Pick Everard to Sadler Bridge Studios. They are a great addition to the range of creative businesses already based here.
“Sadler Bridge Studios’ city centre location is proving increasingly popular with businesses looking for a flexible and hybrid working environment. We now boast a diverse community of new and established businesses from across the creative industries and the supply chain to the creative industries.”
Sadler Bridge Studios is one of seven buildings within the diverse Connect Derby portfolio alongside Friar Gate Studios, Kings Chambers, Shot Tower, Riverside Chambers and the iconic Marble Hall on Nightingale Road in Osmaston.
