Well we have finally bit the bullet and decided that the time is right for moving our booking office. Since we started with wedding cars in 2000 things have moved on.......................a lot.
We will be moving into an office in the PERA innovation site. We get the office on April 3rd and hopefully Datamaster will be down on the 5th with 2 of their nice shiny computers to get things moving. The office complex comes with a couple of added extras included in the cost such as a shared kitchenette to make tea and coffee if we want. It also has a cafeteria open from 08.00 until 16.00 serving hot and cold food. We also get free use of the onsite gym from 07.00 until 19.00. Obviously we have 24 hour access to the site and we can use the very nice reception area for visitors if we wish along with the postroom and the office cleaners, all included in the rent. They also have their own dedicated IT support onsite to help with any issues. The broadband speed is at least 100meg for download and upload.
The cost for all this is £330.00 per month.

Can't go wrong at that money, it's the way forward are these innovation centres. We have a few round here, one is called the same as yours and the other one is called the Icentre which like yours has a on site Café, Nursery, Broadband etc etc.

I hope the move goes well.

Exiting times for you, sounds like your expanding. That rental is an absolute bargain, we pay more than that just for a 100 mbps leased line. Good luck to you all.

With it being a business centre you don't need planning permission.

It is not our base, it is our call centre. Our base is in Ab Kettleby (no internet connection).
