Birmingham the tops for non-capital serviced office space

Birmingham is the most desirable UK city for serviced office space outside of London, new research has found.

According to an Office Broker study, Birmingham has surged past its north west rivals Liverpool and Manchester, to rise to second spot behind London.

Jim Venables, the managing director of Office Broker, revealed that the variety of space offered by the Midlands city was the main cause of its rise in popularity.

"In 2007 we saw a 41 per cent increase in the number of enquiries for serviced office space in the city [Birmingham] compared to the previous year," he said.

"The range of office space available in Birmingham is vast," he added. "From funky warehouse space to out of town business parks, contemporary city centre developments to period style office accommodation, this is a city that offers the business community an incredible amount of choice in terms of available space, therefore allowing it to meet the diverse needs of many different types of business."
