Denbighshire businesses offered ‘kick start’ at Birch House

Businesses in Denbighshire are being offered free office space and business support, as a part of a ‘kick-start’ scheme set up by a property developer.

Gareth Turner, of Turner Bros, shares the company’s Ruthin headquarters with a number of SMEs and is offering a month rent-free to newcomers. New tenants at Birch House Business Centre will also get an IT ‘health check’, a month of computer support and PR and marketing advice, all of which comes cost free.

Mr Turner said: “These are tough times for small businesses and there is precious little financial support available. Our business has grown over 50 years, thanks in part to the support of the community, so we genuinely want to give something back. This package is designed to give businesses a real kick start with a period of rent-free office space and business support to get them on the right track.”

Office rental starts at £30 a week for a single office in the Hen Lon Parcwr site. Tenants also have access to a large, fully equipped, conference room and onsite gym.

Mr Turner added: “Our offices come with easy in and easy out terms. Although clearly our hope is that the businesses thrive and prosper here we understand it can be hard for small businesses to tie themselves down for 12 months.”

Current tenants at Birch House include IT consultants Tengo Media, architects Matischok and Ross, art dealership Celtican, Stonebridge Stewart accountants, M.J. Associates and Accord PR.

Tom Strapps, MD of Tengo Media explained why he had chosen Birch House for his business. “Although Tengo works across the UK, we are totally committed to keeping our base in Denbighshire. The offices at Birch House have a city centre feel and facilities, so make a great impression on our clients. There’s nothing else in the area that compares.”

Turner Bros recently refurbished the Birch House offices, with improvements including an atrium roof and travertine-floored reception, a gym and a 670 square feet conference room. A range of spaces are available from one person offices through to inter-connected suites for larger companies. Birch House also has onsite parking for around 30 cars.
