support and advice as the building was refurbished. Bray Fox Smith are now retained to market the completed scheme to potential occupiers. Two existing tenants, FCC Environment
and Online Direct, remained in-situ during the refurbishment and Reed has moved its current team of 250 people into the fi rst fl oor with space to expand. T ere is currently circa 26,000 square feet of available offi ce space in the building which can be made available to occupiers in suites from 4,000 square feet upwards. Each of the floor plates provides complete
fl exibility and can accommodate requirements for one large open-plan space, or divided into smaller suites to accommodate a range of potential tenant requirements. In addition, and taking account of the recent
pandemic, Northampton 900 has been designed to create an excellent working environment supported by modern, efficient air handling systems with tenants also benefi ting from the added value space created by the Café 900, the outside terrace and garden area, all of which are key to managing the fl ow and capacity of staff as we emerge from the past 18 months. Nigel Marsh added: “Reed as a company has
been transitioning away from High Street offi ces for some years now - we’d already moved a lot of our offices from street level to first floor as so much candidate registration and engagement is increasingly done online rather than in person. It’s therefore not affecting our service delivery to move out of town to Northampton 900, and a modern, bright and convenient offi ce building with an exceptional level of car parking has enhanced the lives of our co-members whilst providing a prestigious location for Reed Talent Solutions to engage with its clients. “Ian Leather had been recommended to me by a mutual
contact who spoke
of his great knowledge of the area, and that has certainly been an important factor in Reed investing is this marvellous building. Ian helped us fi nd it, acquire it at a competitive price and now he is instrumental in marketing the remaining space in the building”. Northampton Business Park benefits from 24-hour management and manned security and Northampton 900 itself now has its own security speed gates. T ere is parking for almost 400 cars, including EV charging points, and the building is fitted with LED lighting and energy-effi cient air conditioning that is zonable, ensuring every tenant has a controllable system
regardless of how the fl oors are divided up. “We’re seeing an increasing number of our co-
members return to the offi ce, and many businesses that I speak to tell me similar” said Nigel. “The interaction with colleagues in what is a fast-paced
sales environment is important, and co-location enables people to feed off one another. Our teams have, on the whole, welcomed the opportunity to get back into the offi ce, and, of course, we feel it’s the best way for those training, or less experienced co-members, to learn from their colleagues as they go about their work. “And if we can provide a modern, welcoming environment in which they can work, then it’s the best of both worlds for everyone.”
