National building materials supplier lays Lichfield foundations

A national building materials supplier has taken a significant office building in Staffordshire as its new Midlands headquarters in a letting negotiated by commercial property consultancy Burley Browne.

The occupier - Brickability - has agreed a long-term lease on the 4,004 sq ft, three-storey office building at 7–9 Swan Road, Lichfield. The property is privately owned.

Comprehensively refurbished to provide high-quality office accommodation arranged over three floors, the building offers a mix of open-plan and cellular space. The specification includes carpeting, LED lighting, gas central heating, perimeter trunking and part uPVC double glazing.

Externally, it benefits from secure on-site car parking to the rear, accessed via Lower Sandford Street.

Eleanor Robinson-Perkins, Senior Surveyor at Burley Browne, acted on behalf of the landlord. Eleanor commented: “This is a strong letting in an increasingly competitive Midlands office market. The property offers high-quality accommodation in a highly accessible and attractive city-centre location, which made it an excellent fit for a business seeking a regional headquarters.

Lichfield continues to appeal to occupiers looking for a well-connected alternative to the larger city centres, and this transaction reflects the depth of demand we are seeing from national businesses.”

A spokesperson for Brickability said: “Establishing our Midlands headquarters in Lichfield is a key strategic step for the business. The building provides the quality of space, accessibility and flexibility we need to support our team and our continued growth across the region.

The location works extremely well for both staff and customers, and we are looking forward to becoming part of the local business community.”
