Douglas Duff - Offices Letting - Milton Keynes, Elder House

Date: 23 Jun 2008

Accommodation at Elder House, close to Milton Keynes Central railway station, has proved so popular that the building's retail space is now full, say agents Douglas Duff, and only two office suites are empty. Recently-completed deals will see two new recruitment organisations moving into Milton Keynes: the retail arm of Shaw Trust, a national charity which helps people who live with a disability or who are disadvantaged find work and achieve independence, and Venn Group, the specialists in professional temporary recruitment, which is expanding its network of offices across the country.

"Boasting its own private car park, immediate access to Milton Keynes railway station and close to the business district, retail centre and restaurants, Elder House is proving popular with businesses and retailers alike and is being superbly refurbished" said Simon Sheath of Douglas Duff. "Station Square has a growing vibrancy and status within the business community which is enhancing the appeal of Elder House."

Shaw Trust has taken two ground-floor retail units totalling 1,000 sq ft (93 sq m) at Elder House, enabling the Trust to promote awareness of its work in the area and to raise funds to support its commitment to disabled people trying to find employment and to those seeking to move from benefits to work. Shaw Trust has just celebrated its 25th year of working with people disadvantaged in the labour market, and has a network of 37 shops in Southern England and Wales from Yeovil to Andover.

Specialising in professional temporary recruitment since 2001, Venn Group is a recruitment consultancy with a national network of offices in nine major cities in England and Ireland. The group has taken three office suites at Elder House totalling 2,005 sq ft (186 sq m) in order to open a new branch in Milton Keynes.

With office space on the upper floors and ground-floor retail units, Elder House offers a wide variety of commercial accommodation, and the stylish refurbishment will provide quality premises. Douglas Duff has only two small office suites available to let, one of 900 sq ft (84 sq m), and the other of 1,000 sq ft (93 sq m), both of modular design to offer flexibility for growing businesses.
