New offices in Birmingham’s Colmore Row business district are attracting a wave of new professional services firms.
The premium offices at Five St Philips are managed by Gilbanks, the firm’s fourth premium serviced office operation in the UK, and its first in the city.
Part B Group has relocated to the new Colmore Row hub as part of its continued growth strategy. The firm joins a growing community of leading professional businesses at Gilbanks in Five St Philips, including accountancy practice Websters, investment bank Cavendish, and built environment consultancy Ridge Partners, which were among the first occupiers to move into the premium workspace.
Commenting on their move, Manpreet Gill, regional director from Part B Group, said: “We’re excited to choose Gilbanks in Birmingham for our new workspace. The central location, the quality of the space, and the professionalism of the Gilbanks team were major factors when choosing our work home. Their flexible and friendly approach was also appreciated. We’re excited to grow from here and expand our work across the Midlands.”
Gilbanks at Five St Philips is purposefully designed for professionals with a distraction-free, high-quality workplace. It creates a space where teams can focus, perform, and thrive. Every element, from the customer service to the furnishings, is tailored to enhance productivity and well-being. The refined environment draws people back to the office and helps organisations attract and retain talent, offering an elevated experience within the serviced office market.
Alex Duckett, managing director at Gilbanks, added: “Birmingham’s professional community values both quality and location. We’ve designed a workspace that elevates the working day and supports members with the service they need to thrive. The early demand from firms such as Part B Group and Websters shows the appetite for a premium, design-led offer.”
The building has achieved a BREEAM Excellent certification and targets a LETI A rating for embodied carbon, underscoring its market-leading sustainability credentials.
Welcoming Gilbanks to the district, Michele Wilby, CEO at Colmore Business District, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Gilbanks to Colmore Business District. With over 650 businesses and 40,000 professionals already thriving here, our District continues to be the Birmingham destination for high-quality organisations seeking a vibrant, well-connected, and collaborative environment. With the high-quality workspaces on offer, we look forward to seeing the positive impact the Gilbanks team will have in the community.”
