A chartered surveyors and construction consultancy has become the first non-creative business to move into a Derby office scheme.
When Adair established its base in the city a year ago, non-creative businesses were not eligible to take space at Connect Derby’s Sadler Bridge Studios.
However, when the rules were relaxed at the turn of the year, Adair’s head of region, Rachel Titley, and her team decided to move to the Bold Lane building.
The relocation follows a successful few years for Adair, which was founded in 1994 and has offices in London, Surrey and Gibraltar.
The company has established a strong track record for delivering commercial and residential developments across the 海角视频 and overseas.
Its core services are quantity and building surveying, project management, dispute resolution and project monitoring.
Sadler Bridge Studios offers managed workspace across three floors.
It features 36 high-specification offices, ranging in size from 150 sq ft to 550 sq ft and is home to a diverse range of tenants, from start-ups to established and developing businesses.

Earlier this year, Friar Gate Studios and Sadler Bridge Studios were given the green light to let up to 30% of their space to tenants from across the creative industries supply chain in order to further promote entrepreneurship within the city.
Eligible businesses include professional services firms such as accountants, lawyers, financial services and HR professionals, along with education and training companies.
Commenting on the move to Sadler Bridge Studios, Rachel said: “We are really delighted with our new, modern premises.
