Telecoms firm talks up growth prospects after relocation

A telecoms company has expanded into new offices in Coventry to allow for future growth.

BT Local Business, represented by Christal Communications, has moved from a rented, serviced office in the city to its own headquarters at Oak Court, Prologis Park.

BT Local Business employs 22 staff and provides telecommunications services to a range of businesses and organisations across the region, backed by BT at a national level.

Its new 2,632 sq ft unit provides a much more modern setting for staff and is located just a short distance from junction three of the M6.

Neil Hoyle, a director with BT Local Business, said: “We had been at our previous location for 12 years and it was the right time for the company to invest and purchase its own property.

“We want to grow our customer base and expand the team – so this new base is absolutely ideal for our requirements.”

The company, which has been based in the city for 13 years, was assisted in its move by commercial property company D&P Holt.

Rupert Gillitt, director of D&P Holt, said Prologis Park was a major success story for the city.

He said: “We are very pleased to welcome BT Local Business to Oak Court. As well as acting as selling agents there on behalf of ADL Ventures, we are also the managing agents for the development.

“It’s a perfect place for BT Local Business to expand and that’s good news for the local economy.”
