The high demand for serviced office space in West Oxfordshire has enabled landlord of Witney Business & Innovation Centre (BIC), Blenheim Palace, to start work on the final phase of the centre’s refurbishment, which will see the creation of seven new office suites on the ground floor of Windrush House.
Work began on phase five of the Oxford Innovation managed centre at the end of last month and is expected to finish in February 2015 with offices ranging from 101 sq ft to 342 sq ft. This brings the total number of offices to 54 (23,487 sq ft) currently occupied by 36 businesses.
Jim Yates, commercial property portfolio manager, Blenheim Palace, said: “Blenheim Palace is delighted to confirm that Oxford Innovation’s recent outstanding success with the Witney Business & Innovation Centre has encouraged us to initiate the fifth and final phase of the building’s internal refurbishment at least 12 months ahead of schedule.”
Witney BIC is home to a variety of businesses including Smooga, HIT Training, Data Centre Response and an on-site women only gym started up by centre customer Body Evo.
Stephanie Henwood, centre manager, Witney Business & Innovation Centre, said: “The popularity of the centre continues as new and growing businesses look for a cost-effective and flexible solution for office space.
"The flexible licence agreement for serviced office space offered by Oxford Innovation is more cost-effective than a traditional office lease, encouraging business growth in addition to providing access to a host of facilities and services that many businesses could not individually afford on a full-time basis."
In addition, Witney BIC has a choice of virtual and shared office packages with access to meeting and conference rooms and is part of a network of centres managed by Oxford Innovation, the UK’s leading operator of innovation centres.
