Three new businesses have moved to Bruntwood Works' Cotton Exchange building in Liverpool in a move said to show the "increasing demand" for flexible workspace for businesses across the city.
Specialist litigation firm Keller Lenkner opened its northern HQ having already opened in London, with the firm established in Chicago and Washington DC. The new office will be led by the firm’s head of data breach, Kingsley Hayes, who has previously worked at Bruntwood Works’ The Plaza in Liverpool, and St Hugh's House in Bootle.
Also setting up offices at Cotton Exchange is MarCloud Consulting, a consultancy firm specialising in marketing automation software Pardot and CRM software Salesforce, and Supply Well, a digital platform helping to recruit and retain supply teachers to schools across the UK.
Combined, the trio of new customers have taken more than 3,000 sq ft at the iconic building, showing the increasing demand for flexible workspace from businesses across the city.
Tony Reed, head of commercial at Bruntwood Works said: “It’s great to see this trio of exciting businesses set up their new homes at Cotton Exchange.
"It’s testament to the region’s resilience that firms continue to forge ahead and are seeking out the locations that offer them top-quality services and amenities with a community feel, as well as bespoke support to help them to grow.
"We’re finding that many businesses are looking for innovative spaces to bring people together safely and drive engagement, and our breakout areas and private roof garden at Cotton Exchange can provide just that.
“Businesses are also increasingly looking for safe and secure spaces where their employees can thrive, and the customers joining us at Cotton Exchange now have access to a flexible workspace where they can connect with others from across our network.
"Workspaces are changing, and those that allow for social interaction while keeping people safe will be central to the future of our cities.”
Once the nerve centre of the global cotton trading industry, the Grade II-listed Cotton Exchange has undergone an extensive transformation and is now home to a wide range of creative and digital businesses, with customers including Yozu and Doris IT.
Situated in the commercial district, Cotton Exchange offers flexible workspaces including coworking and membership options for freelancers and start-ups, as well as larger leased spaces.
The building has a reception area, meeting rooms and breakout spaces with amenities such as bike storage, showers, a private roof garden and events space.
