Freight company AGI takes bigger Derby offices
Air, road and sea freight specialist AGI has grown its East Midlands presence after moving into a bigger offices within Nurton Developments’ Cardinal Square site, in Derby.
The 3,776 sq ft office is three times the size of its previous office there and will set the company up for further growth in the region. The offices are close to Derby city centre, on the junction of the A61 and A52 alongside the inner ring road, with good connectivity to the M1 and East Midlands Airport.
AGI Derby director Dale Cross said: “It’s a great step up for us, but what’s even better is that it’s just down the corridor from where we were before.
“Cardinal Square is ideally located for our needs and near to amenities and designed to consider the wellbeing of our team too, which will also help us recruit as we expand.
“We have big plans for the East Midlands following rapid growth of the business and all the team are pleased to be staying at Cardinal and looking forward to welcoming new people and growing into the new space as we deliver our strategic growth plans.”
AGI is one of several tenants at Cardinal Square including Bulkhead, Freeth’s, City Fibre, FTT, Randd, Astute, FHP, Smile Bright and the NHS.
David Dyas, asset manager for Nurton Developments, said: “We’re pleased to be retaining AGI in Derby city centre and helping them expand their presence in the region, signing them up for another six-year lease.
“Cardinal has always been an office to help nurture businesses and as a landlord we welcome conversations and are open to looking at how we can use the space to offer flexibility and opportunity for occupiers to realise their ambitions.
“AGI is a classic example of a company looking for a base, taking a two-man office three years ago, then a five desk office 15 months ago expanding into 1,100sq and now trebling their space requirements.”
“The next few years look set to be exciting for AGI and we look forward to watching and playing a supporting role in their continued success.”
