PMT to bring 15 jobs to Nottingham
A new music equipment shop which has links with local multimedia group Confetti is set to bring 15 new jobs to Nottingham after a £2.5m investment in the city.
Marco Island will become home to the UK’s 15th Professional Music Technology (PMT) store, in a deal brokered by FHP Property Consultants.
Established in 1991, PMT is an award winning musical instrument and equipment retailer, and eight-time winners of the ‘MIA Best Multiple Retailer/ Best Retailer’ award.
David Black of PMT said: “The East Midlands with Nottingham in particular has been on our radar for a while. The rich musical heritage, and buoyant performing arts scene that Nottingham has makes it an obvious choice for us to bring our award-winning retail model into town.
“We have existing links here such as working alongside the ‘Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies’ which has over 1,400 students. This was a contributing factor to our store’s location as it is situated opposite our new site at Marco Island.
PMT’s new Nottingham store will total 4,206 sq ft.
Matt Revill of FHP Property Consultants said: “We saw this is a great opportunity and location for PMT within Marco Island. We were able to offer them a blank canvass to design a store that would fit their ever growing business.
“With a hands-on approach from the owners of Marco Island we were able to agree and design a store layout that suits both tenant and landlord going forward. The location at Marco Island offer PMT good exposure from passing trade while being located next to the Hockley area, which is pivotal to their store requirement.”
