The Importance of Good Branding

The top businesses in the world will no doubt recognise the importance of standing out. With thousands of small businesses starting up every year with similar ideas and goals, you need to know precisely how to make your mark to get one step - miles, even! - ahead of the competition.

Branding is exceptionally important in the advertising of your business. Take a look at the biggest companies in the ever-expanding business universe from Google, Apple and Microsoft, to Starbucks, McDonalds and Pizza Express.

What do they have in common? Starbucks' branding success is heralded by the recent drop of their name from their logo. You know you've made it big in the business world when your clients and customers recognise you from a logo alone, which is why creating a unique and instantly recognisable logo and brand is so important. You can use it on the stationary you use, the cars you drive about town, up to the very heart of your business - your business headquarters.

Customisable office space is just one of the reasons UrbanWorkSpace is so different to other, run-of-the-mill office space providers. We understand the importance of branding a space as your own. It makes an impression, not only on potential clients and customers, but on your staff, too. Imagine how great it is turning up to Google's headquarters everyday, how much fun it is to work in that lively, creative space designed specifically for purpose. Plus - all those comfy chairs and sofas!

Wouldn't you love to be able to do the same, instead of sitting at a plain desk in a plain room doing the same old plain work? If you want your business to succeed, you need to get motivated! Your staff need to share your vision, excitement and inspiration, and what better way to create the best kind of working atmosphere than to brighten up the space you work in and make it work for you?

Office Space in Birmingham for New Businesses

Our brand new building, The Steward Street Business Lofts, are all about encouraging the endeavours of creative new businesses. Providing the right kind of office space for you is imperative to us, so we're happy to go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need to get your business off the ground and make it successful.

Every business has different needs, we know that. You might just need a space to put a desk or you might need a professional office to meet and greet clients. We can provide all of that, plus a full, working reception with all the standards facilities, plus a fantastic, bright boardroom, PLUS a brand new, modern cafe perfect for a quick bite to eat, a long lunch or a place for informal meetings with clients and customers.

Office space in Birmingham doesn't need to be a headache for you and your business. The Steward Street Business Lofts are buzzing, energetic and exciting. Recently launched, the interest in our building surprised even us, and we know how fantastic the place is!

Situated in Birmingham's BOHO district, the Lofts are the up-and-coming business centre of the area. We're keen to engineer the beginning of a series of changes that will improve the economy of the area by allowing all kinds of businesses to grow, while keeping your costs low. That's why we'll pay your rates, leaving you free to do what you do best!

Birmingham Office Space

With the doom and gloom of the UK recession hanging over our heads, finding office space in Birmingham at an affordable price is starting to prove difficult. City Centre offices might seem like the ideal area to operate your business, but you have to think about all those nasty overheads, plus sky-rocketing rents purely for the privelage of being in the centre.

You don't have to move away from the city. Our Birmingham offices may not be in the centre, but they are all in fantastic locations with brilliant transport links and easy access. Also, unlike city centre offices, UrbanWorkSpace can provide secure, on-site parking and 24 hour security. Our offices are easily affordable AND we pay your rates, so what are you waiting for?

Drop us a line, or take a look at the UrbanWorkSpace website to find out what we're all about!

The Steward Street Business Lofts Are Complete!


It's been a very hectic few weeks for us all at UrbanWorkSpace, but we're proud to say that our brand new development is finally up and running. There are a few kinks to work out and one or two final details to attend to, but the Steward Street Business Lofts are officially operational and are looking fantastic!

It's been a long couple of years, but a lot has been accomplished by our hardworking team. Inspired by the New York business scene, the Steward Street Business Lofts are stylish and modern with a creative, quirky edge you won't find anywhere else in Birmingham! We're keen to see others follow in our footsteps and hope others will be inspired to create. 

Steward Street really is unique. With tenants already moved in, we've had a list of compliments about our creative design - not to mention a few eyes lighting up at the sight of our pool and table tennis tables set up in our makeshift games room. We're thinking of starting a tournament with our tenants. Not only will it be a great way to chill out and relax after a hard day of work, but it'll be a great way for everyone to get to know one another a bit better.

UrbanWorkSpace are always keen to begin new projects. We would like to think we are playing a small part in the important process of regnerating Birmingham. Having read through the Big City Plan, we can see just how much potential we have to bring life back to the city. Modernising Birmingham isn't just the responsibility of the local governing bodies - it is exceptionally important that private sector businesses get as involved as possible be that by providing jobs, donating funds or really getting stuck in and regenerating buildings with the potential to be focal aspects of local commiunities.

We want you to be involved in our vision. If you're looking for offices to rent in Birmingham, you've come to the right place. Don't miss out! Get in touch on 07775 762830 today to book a viewing!

Oh, and keep your eye on our website. It should be going live in 5...4...3...

Brand New Business Centre: Coming Soon!

Our brand new business centre will be having a grand opening very soon! It's taken us a long time to get our newest project ready to go, but we can definitely see the finish line in sight and we know that our newest tenants are just as excited as we are to see the place finally up and running.

When the gates are open, our first tenants are going to experience the luxury of a stylish reception area to meet and greet guests and visitors, flanked by three modern and professional conference rooms available throughout your working day.

Not only that, but there is the added security of an on-site car park nestled right in the centre of the complex, so you don't need to worry about parking along the road. Plus, when everything is up and running, we will be adding a brand new level to the car park!

Steward Street also benefits from luxurious kitchen facilities, toilets, lifts, disabled access, a host of reception facilities and 24 hour security! It's the perfect place for professional enterprises that are just starting out, or are looking to move somewhere new that is spacious and affordable.

Don't forget, UrbanWorkSpace pay your rates, so you have fewer bills to worry about! Get in touch today for more info on 07878 732025 or 0121 554 6404!
