Major developer set to open Midlands office

A major developer is set to open a Midlands office in a move it says will allow it to gets it team closer to developments in Nottingham, Leicester and Daventry.

Henry Boot Developments (HBD) has taken space in Bank House in Birmingham city centre.

HBD says the move will allow it better access to large development projects currently underway, such as the Imperial Tobacco regeneration site in Nottingham, Golden Gate Park in Leicester and The Oaks, Daventry, a retail and leisure project.

The developer’s Birmingham base will bring its total number of UK offices to six, joining Sheffield, Bristol, Glasgow, London and Manchester.

Vivienne Clements, director of HBD, said: “Opening an office in Birmingham was a logical step for us given the continued growth of our business across the country, and some very exciting opportunities within the Midlands. The 48 acre Imperial Tobacco site in Nottingham is just one example; a landmark site set to create hundreds of new jobs.”

She continued: “Birmingham and the wider region will benefit from significant investment and regeneration driven by infrastructure improvements, most notably HS2 – establishing an office in the city will ensure that we remain an active participant in those conversations during the coming months and years.”
