A growing investment management firm has been able to retain a key address in Bath by taking occupation of the whole building.
Having tripled its Bath-based workforce in the past 18 months, managers at Williams de Broë believed they would have to forfeit their Gay Street address in order to move into a bigger office space – until the existing landlord, HPH Commercial Property, stepped in to offer the firm a lease on the entire Grade I listed building at 24 Gay Street.
"Location is important to any business, but so too is space. Because we’ve gone through such a period of growth we were literally bursting at the seams with people. We thought relocating would be the only option," Scott Jones, Director and Investment Manager, Williams de Broë, confirms.
"The offer of the full lease was extremely timely. We were incredibly fortunate that HPH were in a position to broker this deal as moving offices is a logistical nightmare and could be detrimental to a business," Scott added.
Lindsay Holdoway, managing director of HPH said:
"The Gay Street building is well suited to a company which is growing and diversifying. Its prime location makes it ideal for client visits and we're just extremely pleased that we were able to offer them use of the whole building to support their growth," he said.
Williams de Broë, which currently has six offices across the UK, has experienced organic growth over the last 5 years. The investment firm opened its Bath branch in 2003.
