One of Nottingham's largest employers is hoping an imminent office move could bring £50m and be a catalyst for change and development in the city. Domestic and General [D&G] has around nine million customers across the country and is about to make the switch from its office space in Talbot Street to Station Street later this year.
The company, which CEO Matthew Crummack jokingly refers to as "the UK's best kept secret", is a provider of aftercare for millions of domestic appliances, offering repairs and breakdown cover for homes across the country. Mr Crummack took over in October last year after the sudden and sad death of former CEO Ian Mason in 2021, and previously acted as Group CEO at GoCompare before making the switch to D&G.
He believes the Midlands is overlooked in terms of investment and what it can bring to the rest of the country and wants to be a driving force behind creating jobs and opportunities, as well as working within communities through its work. D&G is currently sponsoring the Commonwealth Games which is taking place in Birmingham.
