Workspace chooses Wakefield with office and showroom lease
Workspace, the company providing office planning, design, furniture and installation, has secured a 17-year leasehold of an office and showroom on Garden Street in Wakefield.
Securing the property, formerly Booths Carpets and Flooring, reaffirms a commitment from the business to the city, following its move to the district six months ago.
Following its launch in 2019, founder Caroline Wherritt has been looking for a suitable location that will provide office space that the company can grow into and also a showroom, which has become a real point of difference for the business.
Caroline said: “This is very much the start of a new and exciting chapter for Workspace. I’ve been looking for a property for some time now, so to come across an office and showroom in such a prominent location is fantastic.
“We already do a lot of work in Wakefield, and are well networked throughout the district, so to make this our permanent home makes perfect sense. It also supports our team, as many of them live in or near the city.”
The 3,000 sq/ft building will be completely redecorated, creating an office space for the team and a separate office furniture showroom, which will be used to welcome customers into the space.
Caroline added: “Having a showroom was really important to us. It supports the way that we work and our approach to customer service. We want to give people choice. Having the chance to meet and to chat about their requirements means we can put together the best options to meet their needs.
“This space ensures that we can welcome people into our new home and give them the Workspace experience, a helpful and supportive service that has become synonymous with our business.”
With plans to upgrade the building, Workspace will install solar panels and heat pumps in the coming years to reduce the impact that the business has on the environment, while also improving efficiencies.
Caroline adds: “Securing the leasehold on the building means that we have more autonomy on how we use the space. Not only can we reconfigure everything to give us the infrastructure we need, but we can also make plans about the way we will upgrade the space.
“There’s a lot of work to do but having a permanent location that we can call home really does make all the difference. We can start this year on a positive and work towards achieving our ambitions.”
Workspace provides corporate clients of all sizes with office planning, design, furniture and installation services. Managing the process from start to finish, the business is a single source supplier for corporate fit outs.
