New Brook House, the former Players factory in Alfreton Road, is throwing open its doors in September – to show agents around the building’s impressive facilities for start-up firms and small enterprises.
The agents’ breakfast will take place on 18 September between 8am and 10am. Staff from Nottingham Regeneration Limited (NRL), which owns the building, will be showing people around.
The building in Alfreton Road was once part of the famous cigarette manufacturing plant immortalised in Alan Sillitoe’s Saturday Night, Sunday Morning. More recently it was used as a lace factory. It has been extensively improved while maintaining many of the original features. The overhauled reception area now has new flooring throughout, a new seating area and the welcoming decor includes plants and greenery.
The building, owned by NRL with on-site management provided by Nottingham Office Services includes a shared space facility designed for small enterprises or start-up businesses. Along with important 19th century history it comes with a host of 21st century support, including a recently refurbished and manned reception, assistance with administrative services, and meeting and training rooms.
Mona Walsh of NRL said: “We believe that New Brook House is one of Nottingham’s best kept secrets and we want more agents to know about it. We will be showing agents around on 18 September to show them this fascinating building which is part of Nottingham’s rich heritage.”
There are 44 units at New Brook House altogether, not including the large meeting and training rooms which are available for tenants’ use. The building is wired for phone and broadband. Current tenants include NHS Nottingham City, The Children’s Society, Breaking Barriers and FAH Designs.
