SRL Technical Services chooses Canada House
International engineering consultancy firm, SRL Technical Services, has taken 1,402 sq ft on the first floor of Canada House in the heart of Manchester.
The company has taken a five year lease at the property in Chepstow Street, relocating its south Manchester office from Lynnfield House in Altrincham.
Real estate consultancy OBI is project managing the design and fit-out of SRL’s new office.
Tris Edwards, regional manager at SRL Technical Services, said: “The move to the city centre will allow us to work more closely with our clients and expose us to the opportunities Manchester has to offer.
“Canada House is a close-knit community with dynamic businesses and is a fantastic place for us to work.”
George Haddo, of building owner LJ Real Estate, said: “I am delighted SRL Technical Services appreciates the modern, yet diverse settings of Canada House.
“The building continues to generate interest from businesses in Manchester and we look forward to announcing further transactions soon.”
Debbie Meredith, transactions and asset management, OBI, added: “It is fantastic to witness Canada House transform into a vibrant workspace that appeals to all types of businesses from a wide and diverse range of sectors.
“I am pleased to welcome SRL Technical Services into Canada House.”
There has been a recent flurry of new deals at Canada House, including recruitment agency Axon Moore taking 3,007 sq ft on the same floor last month and an additional three new occupiers taking suites.
Boomerang Communications, a PR agency, has taken 422 sq ft, Healthwatch Manchester, who gather feedback of local health and social care services, have taken 272 sq ft, and NuuK Digital, who specialise in digital marketing, have taken 486 sq ft.
The deal leaves only one suite of 1,660 sq ft available in Canada House.
OBI has project managed the £3m transformation of the Grade-II Listed building.
The project includes a new cycle park in the basement, and the recently opened Clink café, meeting spaces and screening room have all added to the ground floor.
OBI is the sole leasing agent and acted on behalf of LJ Real Estate.
