Both deals were secured by commercial property consultancy KWB Commercial Property Agents.<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm Jones, director at KWB said: \u201cLocation is of prime importance to M&amp;J, with the team needing easy access to many live construction sites across the UK. Located along the M42 corridor, Tamworth is something of a network hub and so, along with the high quality office space available, this new space will work perfectly for the team\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to our latest office market review, office takeup along the M42 corridor in 2025 was 21% above the post-pandemic average, and, thanks to deals like these in Tamworth, it continues to be a popular business location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The regional office at Ventura House comprises 4,300 sq ft and benefits from strong transport links, including close proximity to Junction 10 of the M42 and Junction 4 of the M6 Toll, as well as direct access to the A5 and A38.<\/p>\n<p>It also offers connectivity to Birmingham city centre, Birmingham Airport and the NEC, alongside nearby retail and leisure amenities at Ventura Park.<\/p>\n<p>The new headquarters at Centurion Court provides 5,213 sq ft in a strategically positioned office scheme described as a key gateway location into Tamworth, with strong motorway access supporting national operations.<\/p>\n<p>Judith Marriott, group people director at M&amp;J Evans said: \u201cOver the past 20 years, M&amp;J has grown to become the partner of choice for many housebuilders across the country. We now have seven regional offices, plus the new head office, with a total of 280 employees and a site workforce of approximately 1,700. Our ambition is to expand even further over the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTamworth is the ideal location to aid this expansion in the Midlands, and we\u2019re excited to mark this new chapter with the opening of a new regional hub and our new headquarters early June.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M&amp;J Evans has relocated from Walsall to Tamworth
