EXPANSION plans by existing tenants at a 33,000 sq ft building in Liverpool Innovation Park (LIP) mean that the complex is now fully let.
Independent game developer Spiral House, creative and online specialist agency e-blueprint and technology firm Crosby Systems are among the companies to have taken additional space within the business centre in recent weeks.
Baird House is set in landscaped grounds within the former Marconi headquarters site in the heart of the Edge Lane campus in Liverpool.
It offers 33,000 sq ft of refurbished office space over three floors and is currently home to 25 businesses.
Dr Mark Tock, innovation manager at LIP, said the Park’s “flexible offering” makes it possible for growing SMEs to expand into new premises in as little as 24 hours.
He added: “It is great to see SMEs within the LIP community flourishing and a noticeable increase in overall collaboration among businesses on site.
“As commercial landlords, we always try to be as flexible as possible to meet the needs of ambitious, growing businesses and many are surprised to learn just how easy it is to relocate to or within LIP.”
Spiral House, creators of games on all leading consoles, PC and wireless platforms, has increased its office space from 782 sq ft to 1,021 sq ft.
Spiral managing director Kevin Oxland said: “The business is going from strength to strength, making it the ideal time to move into larger offices.
“The Park was so supportive of our plans and our new office was arranged within a day of our enquiry.”
Creative agency and online marketing specialist e-blueprint, formed in 2004, has also expanded its presence in Baird House. The company, which started with just desks, now has a 239 sq ft office.
Managing director Nick Taylor said: “We’ve come a long way since starting the company and we’ve grown, in part, from the business we have generated from collaborating with other companies based at LIP.
“This expansion marks another exciting chapter in the business, and with a strong pipeline of work under way we have high hopes for rapid growth over the next 18 months.”
Crosby Systems has now taken almost 700 sq ft of offices in Baird House for three years.
