Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is still proving a magnet for ambitious, growing businesses according to commercial agents Siddal Jones who have seen a record level of take up across the popular area this year.
Siddall Jones’ latest deal has seen Nettl, an expanding web design, branding and marketing company, move into 2,000 sq ft of space over three storeys at 13 Caroline Street, which comes with four car parking spaces.
Sophie Froggatt, agency surveyor at Siddall Jones, explained that Nettl offered a range of marketing services including the design for print, websites, signage and promotional items, plus they were offering a range of meeting spaces available to rent.
Siddall Jones helped Nettl move from offices in Great Charles Street to a self-contained building where Nettl has refitted the space to create a better working environment for staff.
Ms Froggatt said: “We are seeing a return of occupiers wanting their front door space which they can make their own. Hybrid working is here to stay but employees want and deserve quality space in which to work and collaborate.
“The historic and vibrant Jewellery Quarter areas is well known for its rich heritage and thriving business community. We are pleased to have successfully negotiated a favourable agreement on behalf of our client and believe that Nettl will be an excellent addition to the area.
“13 Caroline Street was formerly occupied by an accountancy firm and attracted considerable interest, with multiple offers received. The property will be a great base for Nettl, and the meeting spaces they are offering for rent are perfect for local businesses having corporate days, team meetings or anyone needing space for private interviews.”
Ed Siddall-Jones, managing director of Siddall Jones, said: “The Jewellery Quarter market shows no signs of slowing down, with a record level of take up for us this year.
“We are witnessing a return to the office and seeing a number of enquiries for the Jewellery Quarter with clients wanting well located space with character. Furthermore, with the choice of two train stations, multiple bus routes and permit and multi storey car parking, the location works well for employees commuting to the office.”
