Office building fully let with latest signing

Athena Court at Tachbrook Park in Warwick is now full after Complete Building Control signed a three-year lease.

Fourteen employees of the Midlands regional office of the building control business have moved into unit 26.

Pete Hogarth, director at Complete Building Control, said: “Complete Building Control opened a regional office here six years ago with a single staff member and there are now 14 of us.

“We had kept extending by taking on next-door offices because we have been growing every year. Even last year, we still continued to expand.”

Tony Hargreave, property asset manager at Warwick-based AC Lloyd Commercial, said enquiries from SMEs looking for offices in Warwick and Leamington was high.

He said: “It’s been very encouraging to see SMES thinking about their long-term future despite all the uncertainty caused by Covid-19 over the last year by relocating to larger or smaller offices depending on their requirements and maybe more staff working from home once the lockdown ends.

“It emphasises that they are optimistic for their businesses as well as underlines that Athena Court is a fantastic central location in the heart of the UK.”

Sam Cooper, of Bromwich Hardy, added: “The market for small office stock is highly competitive within the Leamington Spa/Warwick area and enquiry levels have been increasing since the roll out of the Covid-19 vaccine. It was great to work with Complete Building Control in meeting their needs at Athena Court, which continues to provide an ideal solution for the growing regionalisation of current office requirements.”
