A specialist education recruitment agency is moving to new headquarters at a business park near Bristol.
Dovetail & Slate has agreed to lease more than 8,000 sq ft at Aztec West, in Almondsbury, in a deal supported by global real estate firm JLL.
The company, which works with schools, colleges and universities across the country, is part of the wider Talentia Group. It is relocating after outgrowing its current North Bristol premises.
JLL and Knight Frank acted as joint letting agents on the deal, which will see the firm move into 740 Aztec West. Owned by Legal & General, the building is due to be upgraded to include a new reception area and extra cycle parking.
Hannah Waterhouse, office agency director at JLL in Bristol, said: “This latest letting represents the ongoing flight to quality that we’re seeing from occupiers, who are continuing to recognise the value business parks can offer, particularly from a cost and benefit point of view when comparing to the city centre.
"L&G is a landlord committed to bringing about this sustainable change and is very focused on building improvement.
“There’s a strong appetite for premium out-of-town accommodation in well-established locations like Aztec West, which have the transport links, parking and wider facilities to support modern hybrid working patterns. It was great to successfully complete this letting for Dovetail & Slate and help them find the perfect location for their headquarters.”
Guy Walker, chief executive at Talentia Group, added: “Bristol is thriving for us because it offers access to exceptional talent, a dynamic business ecosystem and a culture of innovation that mirrors our own.
“We needed a new headquarters that reflects both our ambition and our people-first culture. 740 Aztec gives us exactly that - a modern, collaborative space right at the heart of Bristol’s thriving business community.”
