Financial Firm Purchases New Lincoln Office HQ
A growing Lincoln-based financial planning firm has moved to new office headquarters at Riverside Enterprise Park in Saxilby.
Almond Financial has acquired standalone premises through Team Lincolnshire Ambassador BTG Eddisons.
Formerly based at offices at The Point in Lincoln, Almond Financial has more than doubled its headcount within the last 16 months. In seeking new premises the firm needed offices which could not only fulfil its current pace of growth, but also accommodate future expansion.
The building at Riverside Enterprise Park offers the size, location and a blank canvas opportunity for what Almond Financial describes as a statement building providing more office space for its current team as well as additional staff as the business grows.
Previously known as Metro House, Almond Financial’s new HQ is now called Unit 1, Riverside Court.
Sam Robinson from Almond Financial said:
“We have a vision for the building. It allows for a fully Almond-branded space and room for more offices, a dedicated boardroom and more open space – all of which will provide a welcoming working environment for our staff, clients and guests.
“It also gives us a strong proposition for future growth, including the option to transform what was formerly warehouse space in the building’s original configuration."
Will Wall from BTG Eddisons said:
“Riverside Enterprise Park has fast become an established business location for national operators as well as home-grown successful businesses such as Almond Financial.
“As Metro House, the property was custom-built for the previous owner-occupier whose business had more of an industrial profile. However, as a forward-thinking business, Almond Financial saw the potential of the building now, as well as the investment value the property offered for future-proofing the firm’s property requirements as the business continues its successful expansion.”
Riverside Enterprise Park in Saxilby is a modern commercial scheme by Castle Square Securities and Stirlin Developments where BTG Eddisons remains active as an agent on a number of instructions.
The final sale price has not been disclosed, but the building was marketed at a guide price of £650,000.
