Interior design firm invests £750,000 in relocation

Sheffield commercial interior design company Ovo Spaces is investing £750,000 in a relocation to Victoria Quays.

The company, currently based on Brightside Lane in Newhall, is converting a warehouse overlooking Sheffield’s Canal Basin into 4,000 sq ft offices.

The grade II-listed warehouse was built around 1816 but became derelict by the 1990s and the move is expected to complete by the end of summer 2017.

Ovo said it would be looking for tenants to occupy its current HQ, based in the former Midland Hotel premises

“We have been at our current premises in Brightside since 2004 but as our business continues to expand with a portfolio of major projects both completed and in the pipeline, we knew we had to find ourselves a new home to accommodate that expansion and support us and our clients as we enter an exciting period of new growth,” said Ovo Spaces managing director David Baldwin.

“We will encourage a more collaborative, agile work ethos where clients and colleagues can call in and work with us, close to the City Centre with convenient rail and road links.

“We have devoted 3,000 sq ft of diverse space where various CPD, Training, Seminar, Art Gallery and various commercial events can take place in a creative, stimulating environment .

“When you consider that we are joining companies like Nabarro, the Hilton Hotel, Fernie Greaves and Born & Raised in Victoria Quays, we feel we are also contributing to the regeneration of what promises to be a hugely important part of the city.

“Just look at what Leeds, Birmingham and Manchester have done with their inland waterways, Sheffield can surely achieve the same accolades…and if not, the people of Sheffield need to be asking our elected Council members, why not?”
