Connect Derby

Connect Derby, the city’s primary managed workspace provider, brings together Derby City Council's workspaces at Friar Gate Studios, Sadler Bridge Studios, Riverside Chambers, Marble Hall, and Kings Chambers to support enterprise and create jobs.

Since it was launched in 2014, the multi-million-pound scheme has championed entrepreneurship by providing micro businesses, entrepreneurs and SMEs with the flexible, high specification working environment, reliable, secure, IT infrastructure and complementary services they need to grow.

Each workspace in the diverse Connect Derby portfolio has a unique offering for anyone considering self-employment or starting a new business or an existing business already operating inside or outside the city.

Accommodation at our managed workspaces ranges from 80 sq. to 1,800 sq. ft, with conventional office space, studios, co-working facilities and virtual tenancies all available.

Connect Derby has evolved to meet the changing needs of businesses, with the introduction of new and flexible ways of working. These include hybrid offices, furnished offices and pay as you go options.

Tenants also enjoy superfast broadband, meeting rooms equipped with AV equipment, and 24/7 access, with a monitored intruder alarm system and secure door fob system in operation throughout our buildings. Two of our managed workspaces have their own on-site cafés.

Offices are available on flexible lease terms, with tenants able to upsize or downsize their space according to their needs.

Over the past decade, Connect Derby has played a key role in the regeneration of Derby city centre through the support of SMEs and has been home to some of the region’s biggest business success stories.

The Connect Derby workspaces have provided the infrastructure for the creation of new jobs and the support of local businesses and have boosted inward investment, attracting a whole host of regional, national, and international organisations to the city.

Details of available offices can be found on Connect Derby's website. For further information, contact Sonia Kang, telephone 01332 742700 or email lettings@connectderby.co.uk.
