IT firm Bam Boom Cloud has taken five short term offices at Connect Derby’s Friar Gate Studios.

The move comes after the spin-out from Cooper Parry needed to find office space quickly while its new 6,500 sq ft offices at The Wardwick were being renovated. The deal was completed in less than a week.

Ann Bhatti, head of Connect Derby, said: “When we heard that Bam Boom Cloud were in urgent need of short-term office space in the city centre, we pulled out all the stops to turn around their tenancy agreement in less than a week.

“The idea behind launching furnished offices was to support companies like Bam Boom Cloud through transitional phases of their operations post-Covid and provide them with the flexibility to stay for up to six months, with the option to move to a permanent base in one our seven serviced offices if required.

“Our new furnished offices at Friar Gate Studios have already proved a huge success with 67% of the offices occupied in less than a month, encouraging more people back to the city-centre.”

Vicky Critchley, CEO of Bam Boom Cloud, added: “We’d like to thank Ann and her team for providing us with five furnished offices at such short notice whilst work on our new HQ is being completed.

“The city centre location and facilities at Friar Gate Studios are perfect for our team. There is a great sense of community here, along with excellent Covid safety measures and we’re happy to call Connect Derby our new home for the next few months.”
