FTSE 250 company relocates Leicester office

Public services provider Serco has taken the 5,327 sq ft second floor or Lancer House on Scudamore Road in Leicester.

The office space will be the headquarters of Serco Leisure, which manages over 100 leisure facilities nationwide, when the team moves from its current location at Meridian Business Park on 15th July.

The deal was brokered by Mather Jamie on behalf of landlord TBA Leicester.

James Adderley, Property Services Manager at Serco’s Central Property Group, says: “The Serco Leisure team was on the lookout for new Head Office premises in Leicester with several prerequisites: capacity for several meeting rooms and up to 70 desks, temperature control and ample parking facilities. Currently, the team is divided between three floors across two buildings, where facilities and space are not at the required level.

“Lancer House met all of our requirements, and the team and I are confident that the new location on Scudamore Road will bring many benefits, including more efficient communication and teamwork. We have also been able to fit out the new premises to Serco’s company-wide standards, which in turn will contribute to a more cohesive working environment.

“We have found Mather Jamie very helpful and extremely professional throughout, from our initial contact with various local agents to the sub-let being arranged.”

Alex Reid, director at Mather Jamie, said: “Having first secured the lease on this impressively renovated property for TBA Leicester last year, we are delighted to confirm that Lancer House’s second floor will now be put to good use by public services giant Serco.

“With its convenient location, considerable parking capacity and high-specification renovation, I have no doubt that Lancer House will fulfil all of Serco’s requirements as an office space.”
