Bingo operator creates a buzz with relocation

Buzz Bingo has relocated from its city centre offices, taking new space on the outskirts of Nottingham.

FHP Property Consultants secured the letting of 1 Castle Marina Road, an 11,500 sq ft detached office building on a new ten year lease for the bingo operator.

Buzz Bingo is the largest omni channel bingo operator in the UK and will now start with fitting out the offices in order to open its new support centre in the autumn.

Peter Willans, property director at Buzz Group, said: “With the support of Savills, we are delighted to have secured a new home for Buzz at Castle Marina. The building and location tick many boxes and we now look forward to welcoming back our colleagues to a working environment designed to support them in the new world of hybrid working.”

Mark Tomlinson at FHP Property Consultants, who acted on behalf of the landlord in the deal, said: “There has been much speculation as to the future of the office market, so we are delighted to see that occupiers continue to make positive moves such as this one in order to deliver the best quality spaces for their staff to return back to when restrictions allow.  This building occupies a very accessible position among good quality amenities with public transport links and a good amount of parking, ideal for a modern flexible working strategy. I am looking forward to seeing the tenant’s fit out plans put into action over the next few weeks.”

Ian Muxlow at Savills, who advised Buzz Group on the acquisition, said: “Castle Marina ticked all the boxes for Buzz Group, being the perfect location for their Nottingham HQ, with its great road and public transport links, including access to the tram network, plus being within easy reach of both the railway station and the city centre.  The amenities for staff with extensive retail and leisure at Castle Marina Retail Park was also a big attraction. Our client is now undertaking an exciting fit out programme to provide collaborative open plan space, with attractive collaboration and breakout hubs, creating workspace to meet the future needs of their growing business.”
