Two Leicester companies relocate to Grade II listed building

Two Leicester companies have relocated to a newly-refurbished landmark city building.

Umbilical and software firm Mindera have moved to the Grade II listed Premier House on Rutland Street, which was built in 1865.

The deal was brokered by Andrew + Ashwell.

Neetal Popat, the scheme’s project manager said: “This is a wonderful Leicester landmark and I was very keen to bring a building of this stature back into the frame to give local small to medium-sized businesses the opportunity to work from a prestigious location in the city centre.

“It is so important to promote smaller Leicester companies by enabling them to occupy high quality accommodation. There are many similar buildings in Leicester that would benefit from similar refurbishment, bringing them back to life and helping businesses to flourish.”

Jane Taylor, Andrew and Ashwell consultant, added: “It is great to see the commitment and hard work that have gone into transforming this iconic city building. High quality accommodation is always in demand, yet there is an acute lack of available space of this standard.”
