Consumer credit reporting agency Equifax has moved into new offices at the newly refurbished East West workspace, Nottingham.
The business has taken a 10 year lease on a 20,000 sq ft workspace, specially designed for it, within the Maid Marion Way building – which is owned by property investment company CEG.
CEG has transformed East West to deliver 175,000 sq ft of workspace, integrating the Toll House pub into the development, providing a café bistro and business lounge offering spaces to eat, meet, drink and work, with Wi-Fi and plug-in points.

This first phase of redevelopment has created a new reception area, as well as improvements to the glazing, lighting, heating and ventilation, with new cycling facilities, showers, drying room and lockers being delivered later in 2023.
Phil McGilvary, managing director of debt services at Equifax, said: “It was time for a transformation when we planned our move from Fletcher Gate.
“Our new workspace needed to be contemporary and vibrant, helping to retain and attract the best talent.
“We love East-West – it offers fantastic amenities such as the café bistro, break-out spaces and is within an easy walk of the city centre.
“CEG was able to custom design a full turnkey solution designed and delivered to our brief, and the team are already really enjoying working in such a fantastic space.”
