Software firm moves to new Solihull base
Published on Tuesday, 23 August 2016
The move was managed by Birmingham-based chartered surveyors Johnson Fellows, who also advised on sourcing the new offices and are overseeing the fit-out of the space.
The deal sees Phoebus take up 15,000 sq ft of third floor space at Lansdowne Gate in the heart of Solihull.
Phoebus has seen sustained growth in the last 12 months, with a number of new staff joining the team, which now stands at over 90 employees up from just 70 employees a year ago.
The new office space includes room for further expansion and additional staff in the coming months.
The firm’s current HQ is just a short drive away at Radcliffe House, Blenheim Court, to the west of the town.
Paul Hunt, managing director of Phoebus, said: “Phoebus Software Ltd has grown so significantly over the last year it was vital for us to find quality offices that could cater not only for our existing staff but also those that we plan to bring into the business over the next few years.
“We chose the new building at Lansdowne Gate in Solihull because it is three times larger than the space we have available in our current building and it provides us with the flexibility for more unique ways of working, such as collaborative working spaces, break out areas as well as private space areas for those who need to concentrate or have private meetings.
“An additional advantage is that it is next to a park which will allow us to hold more social and sporting activities; we treat the wellbeing of or staff very seriously and this will help with that.“
