Property, construction and infrastructure consultancy Pick Everard has relocated its Derby offices to the Sadler Bridge Studios.
The Leicester-headquartered practice – which covers specialisms including architecture, engineering and professional management services – has picked the Connect Derby-run workspace as the home for the satellite office. The change will see it move from Kenning Studios in Queen Street to the heart of the city’s Cathedral Quarter.
Pick Everard – which was founded in 1866 – has 15 offices throughout the UK, including London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol, Leicester, Manchester, Glasgow, Nottingham and Derby.
Its client list spans public and private sector organisations throughout the UK and abroad, including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Houses of Parliament.
The Derby office directly supports work with regional clients including Bowmer + Kirkland, Rolls-Royce, Nottingham Trent University, Leicester Tigers, Derbyshire County Cricket Club and PMI Developments.
The office move is part of a wider national strategy towards a more hybrid way of working for its growing 650-plus workforce, including 30 people in Derby.
Sadler Bridge Studios was constructed in 2014 and has 35 units in a three-storey multi-occupancy office building.
Pick Everard partner David Nisbet said: “We’re delighted with our new home at Sadler Bridge Studios. Its location in the heart of the city is perfect for us, and the facilities are ideal for our evolving office portfolio.
“Our aim is to provide outstanding services to our clients and communities, developing our agile and collaborative style of working.
“The team at Connect Derby have been very accommodating and have enabled us to achieve a seamless transition into our new office space.”
Ann Bhatti, head of Connect Derby, said: “I’d like to welcome such a long-standing and well-established business as Pick Everard to Sadler Bridge Studios. They are a great addition to the range of creative businesses already based here.
“Sadler Bridge Studios’ city centre location is proving increasingly popular with businesses looking for a flexible and hybrid working environment.
“We now boast a diverse community of new and established businesses from across the creative industries and the supply chain to the creative industries.”
