By retaining their previous 4,000 sq ft head offices at Nottingham Business Park, the move more than doubles its footprint to almost 10,000 sq ft of office space, supporting the company’s ongoing growth strategy to increase current turnover to £10m and the size of its workforce to 100 by 2022.
“The decision to relocate supports our continued growth and ambitious plans for the future”, said James Healey, Managing Director of Air-IT. “Since we were founded in 2005, we’ve enjoyed consistent high growth of 30% year on year. As a result, we needed more room to accommodate our growing team and to help us attract and retain the best talent.
“With 45 staff at present, we plan to create 10 new jobs by 2018 taking headcount to 55, so will soon be looking for new people to join our technical and back office teams.
“Located centrally between Nottingham and Derby, and ideally situated at Junction 25 of the M1, the move has opened our doors to a wider geographical area and will increase our ability to service clients based throughout the East Midlands and across the UK.”
With a £200,000 investment in fit out alone, the new high tech offices boast an open plan design over two storeys, with informal spaces for staff to meet and collaborate in a spacious environment.
The service desk function fills a whole floor and an all-new break out area known as “The Hub”, provides staff with a special space to relax. Table Tennis and a pool table are available to play as well as a games console and brand new kitchen and dining area.
