One of Nottingham's largest employers is hoping an imminent office move could bring £50m and be a catalyst for change and development in the city. Domestic and General [D&G] has around nine million customers across the country and is about to make the switch from its office space in Talbot Street to Station Street later this year.
"So I think for us we've got this critical hub in Nottingham. We have seven million customers in the UK and many of them get serviced by people that work in or around Nottingham. So for actually servicing them and doing a great job with them, both our customers and employees, it's actually pretty fundamental to the way our business operates. It's a big investment for us.
Once complete D&G’s operations hub on Station Street will be able to host up to 1,000 employees and it has signed a 15-year lease with the building. Its old offices will be turned into a new student development in the city centre. "And you see it in Nottingham, there are some beautiful buildings, there are some new buildings but there are also some buildings that have been vacated and I think it's businesses that can help really invest in that and help the city develop itself and smarten up. And we'll have left the imprint of a couple of buildings there that look hopefully a lot better than they would have done.
