Global recruitment consultancy Hamlyn Williams has expanded its Cardiff operation by moving into larger city centre offices located in Wyndham Arcade.
Wyndham Arcade is one of the city centre’s best-known historic arcades, linking St Mary Street and The Hayes.
The office accommodation, known as The Warehouse, has been refurbished to a high specification by G Capital and includes a fingerprint-controlled access system, Cat 6 cabling, LED lighting, 24 hour access and CCTV. Hamlyn Williams has moved from Capital Tower to take a five year lease on the 2,557 sq ft office at a rent of £20 per sq ft. Landlord G Capital was represented in the transaction by property consultancies Knight Frank and Savills.
Grace Shackell of Knight Frank said: “The high-quality specification and central location of The Warehouse proved a perfect fit for Hamlyn Williams, who went under offer within a few weeks of marketing getting under way.”
Gary Carver at Savills said: “The refurbishment has created an up-to date office environment whilst retaining many of the existing historic features of the building. Cardiff needs more office space like this.”
Nick Vaughan, CEO of Hamlyn Williams commented: “Hamlyn Williams expanded its offices into the South West and Regions in 2017 and has chosen new premises at Wyndham Arcade in Cardiff to accommodate its growth into 2018. The firm partnered with the Welsh Government to create graduate recruitment jobs and has chosen a property that’s reflective of its culture and is central for clients and employees alike.”
Rod Thomas, property manager of G Capital added “It is a pleasure welcoming a company such as Hamlyn Williams to the Wyndham Arcade. This completes the tenant mix of the arcade, which is now fully let.”
