2 The Property The office you choose says a lot about your business, and St James says more than most. This iconic Grade II-listed building sits in a commanding location overlooking Manchester s busy Oxford Street and dates back to 92. Originally the headquarters of the Calico Printers Association, it is widely considered to be one of the finest period properties in the city, with a grand Portland stone frontage that is over 300ft long. A period property it may be, but the facilities at St James are contemporary in every way. Bruntwood purchased the property in 2003 and since then has invested substantially in the fabric of the building, sensitively restoring its best period features, including the opulent marble reception hall and sweeping entrance staircase. The location of St James means that the building will benefit from the planned implementation of high-speed, fibre optic broadband, as part of the Manchester Digital Strategy Project for the Oxford Road Corridor. The aim of the project is to provide accessible and affordable broadband for businesses in and around Oxford Road so whether you re an architect, an ad agency or an accountant, at St James you ll soon be able to enjoy broadband speeds of 00mb plus. The inventive regeneration of this landmark building is a unique example of how Manchester s historical industrial past has been transformed into a vibrant, modern and forward thinking home for the next generation of the city s businesses. So if you are looking for a combination of comfort, class and character to create the right impression for your business, look no further than St James. 2 minutes walk to the nearest train station ,000 range of different sizes of office suites in sq ft 278,84 TOTAL SQ FT OF OFFICE SPACE AT ST JAMES

18 Gallery Nigel Kay MBE Managing Director St James Safe Deposit Co Ltd Chris Bellamy Director FirstFound Search Engine Consultants The St James Safe Deposit Company is a rather special customer of St James as the company celebrates 00 years of residence in the building in 202. Throughout their history in the building they have remained open every week through two World Wars and even at the height of the Manchester blitz in World War II. According to Managing Director Nigel Kay, having a good working relationship with your landlord is key to the smooth running of his business. A good customer deserves a good landlord and we certainly have that with Bruntwood. I have been associated with St James Safe Deposit for 22 years and this year we celebrate our 00th birthday in residence. Since I arrived in 99, we have experienced three owners of St James and after very indifferent service from the previous ones, it is a pleasure to have Bruntwood as our property partner. They are always professional and whenever there are property issues to be dealt with they could not be more helpful. When FirstFound was established, they were one of the first search engine optimisation companies in the country. The company grew rapidly as the online market began to accelerate, and when they wanted to move to larger premises to expand their business, St James was the clear choice. Chris Bellamy recalls As it s in the centre of the city, St James helped us to position our business at the heart of Manchester s growing digital sector. It seems like a small detail, but location was crucial in differentiating ourselves from the competition. But it s not the just location that s kept us here, or that convinced us to renew our lease for another nine years. That s all down to Bruntwood themselves. The team here at St James s are always helpful and courteous, and they respond to our needs as an expanding business. They ve made it easier for us to branch out, hire more suites and take on more staff as the company has grown over the past decade. We now employ over 20 staff and help tens of thousands of businesses throughout the country. Bruntwood have been a real contributing factor in our continuing success. A good customer deserves a good landlord. As it s in the centre of the city, it helped us to position our business at the heart of Manchester s growing digital sector
