Accountancy firm ups roots in new office move

A leading Derby accountancy practise has taken steps to modernise its working environment by moving its HQ into new offices on one of the city’s established business parks.

Maple Accountancy, whose Derby headquarters is currently based in a period building on Friar Gate, is uprooting and relocating to a purpose-built, pavilion-style office at Wyvern Court on Wyvern Business Park.

William Speed of Salloway Property Consultants, who negotiated the sale to Maple on behalf of a private client, was very pleased with the result of his brief marketing campaign. “We are experiencing fewer freehold properties coming onto the market currently, so it isn’t surprising to see that when an opportunity like this does present itself there are high levels of interest.

“It is particularly rewarding to close a deal with a well-known Derby professional firm which will now make this property their new headquarters.

“The new office building comprises some 4,300 square feet over two floors and is extremely well located for accessing both the city centre and the principal road network meaning easy access to the rest of the UK. It will provide Maple with the perfect opportunity to create a contemporary fit-out which is sure to impress employees and clients alike.”

Jennifer Priestly, Director of Maple Accountancy added: “We are really excited to make the move over to Wyvern Court. The modern office gives us the perfect opportunity to create a new, state of the art work environment. The quality of workspace is becoming more and more important in this modern day and age, creating an environment that encourages people to work in the office is something that we are very keen on achieving at Maple Accountancy.”

William Speed added: “Maple’s strategy follows a common trend we have encountered since COVID. Many companies are seeking to create a more vibrant and versatile work environment allowing for flexible and hybrid working routines and taking into account both staff well-being and the company’s ESG aspirations. Modern freehold offices provide this opportunity and if anyone is considering a sale of their current office, please contact me at Salloway Property Consultants as I would be delighted to help.”
