Business Accommodation
There are specific business accommodation units for Creative & Digital Industries companies from incubator offices for start-up companies to purpose-built developments for large multinationals, and these offer a range of added value services and benefit from advanced connectivity and shared facilities. Many of the business accommodation centres offer tailored Business Support packages, and they are very flexible in terms of the size of office. Companies unsure of the need for a physical presence in the marketplace can test the need by having a “virtual office” in many of our centres, with an address, call & mail handling and reception facilities for a very small monthly charge.
