Hospital trust in Wolverhampton office deal

The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust has taken 3,928 sq ft of office space in Wolverhampton city centre.

In a deal put together by property agents CPBigwood, the Trust has moved certain IT and administrative functions into part of St Johns House in St Johns Square. A three-year lease has been agreed.

Steven Bott, a member of the CPBigwood commercial agency team, said: “The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust is one of the leading acute and community trusts in the region – we were very pleased to be able to help them with their property needs.

“They employ thousands of staff, so naturally have many support roles which are crucial to keeping the medical side operating efficiently.”

St Johns House is in a prominent location overlooking Wolverhampton Ring Road, St Johns Retail Park and immediately opposite the grounds of St. Johns Church.

Mr Bott said: “The premises are in an established professional and commercial quarter of the city within walking distance of the main retail area, so it is well placed for staff to reach easily.

“Equally good links to the motorway network mean there is ready access.”

The three-storey St Johns House is home to a number of occupiers including British Mensa Ltd, various quasi Government organisations and Wolverhampton Primary Care Trust.

The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust provides a range of community, acute and specialist services for the people of Wolverhampton, the wider Black Country, South Staffordshire, North Worcestershire and Shropshire.
