Cannock proving popular with finance firms

Nationwide Building Society will be relocating within Cannock to a location becoming increasingly popular with financial services firms.

CPBigwood, acting for the landlord, secured Nationwide as a tenant who beat off competition from a rival to move into No.1 Market Place.

Nearby occupiers include Yorkshire Bank and Lloyds Bank.

Market Place is adjacent to the main pedestrianised part of the town centre and benefits from a high footfall.

Steven Bott, CPBigwood commercial agent, said: “There are now numerous banks and building societies located near to each other there – it has become quite significant and good news for Cannock.

“Nationwide have taken a large two storey unit of 3,307 sq ft.”

Other outlets nearby include Thomson, Iceland, Poundland and W H Smith.

Stuart Rose, of SR Properties, was joint agent.

Nationwide were represented by Emel Hussein, of Colliers International.
