Reaching dizzy heights at Fort Dunlop

What a fantastic month it’s been at Fort Dunlop, we’ve welcomed new tenants, opened a new café and this week we hosted one of the summer’s best networking events on the building’s roof!

The event was arranged by the British Council of Offices (BCO), and sponsored by design company Overbury. The BCO decided to host it with us following our national award from them in 2008.

The event was attended by more than 50 key business people each of whom enjoyed an Asian style BBQ and selection of wines high up on the Fort Dunlop roof. We gave each attendee an extensive tour and they got a talk from our superb tenants Trinity Mirror who publish the Birmingham Post and Mail in the building.

Everyone appeared to have as much fun as I did; meeting new people and getting some great views of Birmingham! It was also great to remind people about Fort Dunlop and everything we have going on here. It’s a busy place now but there are still some offices left; from 900 sq ft to 20,000 sq ft. Drop me a line at emilyjones@urbansplash.co.uk if you’re interested, I’ll even show you the roof!

Our new office atrium at Mills Bakery by Emily Jones

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I don’t have a bad job me - I’ve spent this week in perhaps the only sunny part of the UK (Plymouth), surrounded by the beauty of the Royal William Yard.

It’s idyllic, particularly when you’re sat in the sunshine outside the restaurant space looking out to the estuary.

The latest dimension to the Yard is a new office atrium. Housed within the contrasting confines of the Grade I listed Mills Bakery, the atrium is just weeks away from being finished and will be a great location for any business. Workers will have great views (tranquil enough to calm any work crisis!), fancy new space and the use of the new restaurant and retail space on the ground floor of Mills Bakery (which, we hope will be occupied soon!).

I’m looking forward to letting this space and getting tenants in… I wonder who’s going to take it!
