UK online travel agent Alpharooms has booked its operations into Meadowhall Business Park in Sheffield after a company restructure following its acquisition last year.

The firm, which specialises in selling hotel rooms and carries 850,000 passengers annually, is the latest company to lease office space at the newly-refurbished business park.

Alpharooms, established in 2002, needed new premises for its 11-strong operations team after it was sold for an undisclosed sum to London-based Truly Holdings in August.

The company, which employs 130 staff nationally and internationally, has taken a 10-year lease on 3,750 sq ft at ARBA Group’s 70,000 sq ft Meadowhall Business Park which will complement its Uxbridge and Hyderabad operations.

Emma Lelliott, head of sales and operations at Alpharooms, said: “Alpharooms is a well-known brand in both the UK & Ireland and has been trading successfully online for over 15 years at our base on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield.

“Meadowhall Business Park offers us a fantastic location. The space has been designed specifically to suit our needs with open plan offices, a boardroom and separate smaller offices which is much better than our previous base. Amenities surrounding the park including places to eat and shop are superb with Meadowhall on the doorstep and parking. It is also much more accessible for our staff, many of whom travel from Rotherham.”

Alpharooms join construction company NG Bailey, health screening service Preventx, surveyors Auburn Ainsley, photography and makeover studio Chique Photography, Eaton Commercial Property Consultants, Galaxy Insulation and Dry Lining (Holdings) and North Midlands Construction as tenants.

Richard Burns, director at ARBA Group, said: “The quality and flexibility of the office space, and being able to let tenants choose and plan their space has proved extremely successful.

“These are city centre facilities but which offer out of town rates. Combined with the nearby associated development, Meadowhall Shopping Centre and transport links we have seen very strong interest in the park with further announcements to be made shortly.”
