A digital marketing agency has relocated in Nottingham as it prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Nzime has taken a 2,292 sq ft office unit on the first floor of 19 Stoney Street — a stunning period building in the heart of Nottingham’s Lace Market.
The deal was brokered by Thomas Szymkiw, Head of Agency at NG Chartered Surveyors.
Andrew Horner-Glister, the founder of Nzime, takes up the story.
He said: “After 20 years of being on Woolpack Lane in the same offices, a move has come as an opportunity to shake up what ‘the office’ means to Nzime and its team, as this is very different from the early 2000s.
“We have been looking to move for the last few years, and finding the right space has been a challenge as we wanted a space with soul and personality rather than a regular carpeted, ceiling tile environment.”
Andrew said the move will give him the opportunity to listen to his team and create an environment in the heart of the Lace Market that suits their needs.
He added: “We will be able to close the gap between an office environment and a more comfortable social, hospitality, home feel. We have embedded a café feel in the heart of the space for the team to come together over food and drink, with plenty of options for people to work in different environments.
“For those wanting to get their head down, we still have a quieter studio allowing for minimal distractions, and then we have a much more open-plan environment containing dedicated meeting and video call spaces. Running a hybrid working approach means that when people do come into the office, they are often wanting lots of face-to-face time with colleagues and clients, so the new space has been built around this.”
Thomas said: “19 Stoney Street is the ideal place for Andrew to take his company to the next level. The market for high-quality period offices in Nottingham — and especially the Lace Market — remains strong, as they often add that something extra to a more modern setting.
“19 Stoney Street is the ideal place for Andrew to take his company to the next level, and we wish Nzime well in their new home.”
Andrew said: “Thomas and the NG team have been great. After initially showing us the property, we knew immediately this was going to be home. From then on, it’s been a simple and smooth process through to completion and receiving the keys.”
