A private healthcare provider is moving from Nottinghamshire to Leicester with plans to create 50 new jobs.
Unlimited Wellbeing is moving into temporary space in the Regus serviced offices opposite Leicester station next Monday.
The business, which only launched in 2017, already has 10 staff and plans to take on five times that over the next couple of years.
It offers private services such as employee health assessments and home assessments for busy people, sending registered nurses to carry out personal check checks, costing 拢99 per person or 拢149 for a couple.
Chief executive Sanjiv Corepal said he also plans to sell franchises in the business.
It is currently based in , but he was attracted to move by Leicester鈥檚 good links to London, strong graduate pool and cultural diversity.
The company has a turnover of around 拢250,000 which it hopes to build to 拢500,000 next year. With future outside investment he hopes to take that to 拢1.5 million the year after.
Mr Corepal said the city was the perfect fit for the company as they seek to expand their services and geographical footprint.
It follows in the footsteps of others than have moved to Leicester in recent years including Hastings Direct, IBM, PPL PRS and Octopus Energy.
He hopes to find a permanent Leicester base by the autumn.
He said: 鈥淲e are incredibly excited about basing Unlimited Wellbeing in the heart of Leicester. I can鈥檛 think of anywhere better to grow our business from.
