Hallam Internet
As the owner of a fast growing business, I have many different responsibilities and priorities. Having offices in Foxhall Lodge means I can be confident knowing that I can count on the Foxhall team for their support and resources to take care of the all-important back office activities. Phones, cleaning, utilities, reception services: everything is taken care of for me so that I can focus on managing my business. As our company has expanded, Foxhall has been accommodating in moving us from their King Street offices to larger offices in Foxhall Lodge. Team Hallam is going from strength to strength and I'd like to thank Tom Wilton and all the folk at Foxhall for their excellent service.

When we were initially looking for office space in Nottingham City Centre, we chose Foxhall Business Centres because they appeared friendly and professional. They have lived up to our expectations and have provided us with an excellent service. Our company has expanded rapidly since we joined 2 King Street and we are fortunate that they have been extremely helpful and flexible whilst accommodating and anticipating our growing needs.
We have often used the meeting room facilities at FBC and have always been well looked after, and have found that any requests made have been catered for by their efficient staff.
The team here are great communicators, who keep us abreast of any issues and are always there to help.

CRS have now been tenants of Foxhall's King Street for over 3 years, during which time they have supported and facilitated our growth. The Foxhall staff and management are exceedingly professional and provide our business with a friendly and focused environment in which to work.
We have been extremely impressed with their flexibility. This was illustrated recently when our Business needed additional office space and IT support, The team at Foxhall moved our office over the weekend and the Business was up and running on the Monday morning without any issues.
Something that really pleases me as a tenant at King Street is the positive and envious feedback from our clients, they always comment on the quality and location of our office.

I started a small accountancy and tax practice in my late 50s, following retirement from a much larger practice. I didn't want to work from home because I wanted the ambiance of a professional environment for the benefit of my clients and future employees. But the prospects, eg of taking out a formal lease, paying council tax and utility bills, arranging phones and broadband along with all the other issues involved in having our own office, were initially daunting. Therefore for the first time in my life I researched the serviced office market in Nottingham and initially found this rather depressing! However I then found out that number 2 King Street, which I had known for very many years as a Solicitors' office, had been turned into serviced office accommodation by Foxhall, a company with a proven track record in this field. I initially made contact via an agency but soon realised that the way to do business was to contact the proprietor Tom Wilton who has a very good hands-on approach to his business.
To cut a long story short we signed up for 6 months but soon extended this to a year and then another year and another. Originally we had only seen King Street as a stop gap but in fact we found that we and a number of other tenants found the working environment very satisfactory and we eventually stayed for nearly four years.
One of the reasons we stayed was due to the really excellent Facilities Management Team. They could provide a "Virtual Office" facility if required so that it was not necessary to recruit anyone to answer phones, deal with clients arriving at the premises, post mail along with a number of other duties. Furthermore if the telephonist was occupied when call came through, the telephonist at another Foxhall site would pick it up for us.
To conclude, we would recommend Foxhall Lodge and 2 King Street in particular to anyone starting up their business or to anyone else who wants to delegate their facilities management to a thoroughly reliable team.

As a property lettings company, we often work long hours and are constantly on the road. The Reception team have access to our diaries and ensure all our calls are dealt with and transferred if appropriate. Handling our mail is a also a great benefit, and enables us to prioritise our day.

Home Fundraising
When training our fundraisers, it is always difficult to maintain their concentration. Using Foxhall's facilities ensure interruptions or disruptions are kept to a minimum. Also, we don't have to worry about setting up Presentation/IT Equipment or whether the catering will be of a good standard. It is always taken care of in a professional and caring way.

The Princes Trust
The Prince's Trust moved into the Foxhall Business Centres, Foxhall Lodge in June 2011. This proved to be very easy because before our move Tom Wilton who manages the Business Centre discussed our needs and was able to accommodate these ready to move in. The move was very smooth with the facilities provided resulting in disruption to ourselves being minimal.
There is a professional feel to the location from entering the building through the secure reception system staffed by very friendly and helpful staff who make visitors welcome. The friendly professional approach is carried out by all staff members including the general support staff who are always willing to help and friendly.
The domestic facilities are very good with two fully equipped rest areas which includes all that staff would need to relax for their breaks.

We chose Foxhall Business Centres because of the location and the facilities they offer. The fact that the Business Centre is housed in such beautiful old buildings, with views over the park, has been a bonus, and many colleagues visiting the office comment on what a pleasant place this must be to work.

We are really pleased that we made the move to Foxhall Business Centre from our expensive city centre office. Everything here is fantastic as we have all the facilities that we require for staff and volunteers of the charity. We like that the fact that we have ample car parking, a great view of the forest and an office that we feel secure in. As it's a fully serviced office we receive cleaning, utilities and car parking all for one price which is actually excellent value and we know that there are no hidden costs.
The staff at the centre are always happy to help with postage, computer issues and anything we need for the office, they were also really good when we moved in ensuring that the process was a smooth as possible.
We would definitely recommend Foxhall Business Centre to other organisations, it's a really friendly place to be which makes the days more enjoyable.

When looking for office space for our organisation, Foxhall Lodge was our first choice because of price, location and amenities. The building is very grand with modern kitchens which are well equipped. From viewing the Centre, to moving in, Foxhall's staff have been very helpful and friendly. This service continues on a day to day basis. Foxhall Lodge is a very nice environment to work in and we are very pleased to be here.

As a new business we needed somewhere quickly that catered for all our needs at a cost that was considerate towards us as a start-up. Foxhall Lodge was the perfect choice, offering IT support, furnished offices, internet, phones and parking! We were up and running very quickly and they really worked with us to help facilitate it. When we need someone to cover our phones, the polite Receptionists offer that much needed support so we can carry on with the day to day. We've been here 3 years and have no plans to move, we've got 2 offices now, so Foxhall Business Centres have also helped us with our expansion!

Mundi Global Education Centre
MUNDI Global Education Centre has been based at Foxhall Business Centre for three years now.
During that time I have greatly valued the professional nature of the Foxhall team, whether staffing reception, dealing promptly with any queries or difficulties and most of all being flexible to accommodate my organisation's needs in a constantly changing financial climate.
The kitchen, meeting room and storage facilities are great.
But, most of all I have greatly appreciated the friendly nature of not just the Foxhall team but the atmosphere they have created amongst the varied organisations based here.
I would very highly recommend them to any organisation considering new office space with great access from both public transport and convenient parking.

Infrared Security Solutions Ltd
We have had our offices at Foxhall Lodge Business Centre since January 2010. We started out with a small office but soon found that we needed to expand and Foxhall helped us to find a suitable larger office space within their Business Centre. They helped us physically move offices, sourced furniture for us and painted the new office.
We have always found Foxhall Lodge staff accommodating and pleasant, with both our staff and our visiting clients. Foxhall Lodge is an impressive building and bringing customers to our offices is always a pleasure. They also provide meeting rooms, one of which is referred to as the "Boardroom", where we have conducted many meetings in this grand room to important clients.
The service Foxhall provide is second to none they receive visitors for us, take our phone calls as and when required, receive parcels, provide a postal service, provide a secretarial service, offer meeting rooms with catering and our offices are cleaned daily.
Foxhall Business Centres provide the whole package for your business and we would recommend them to any business that is looking for something more than just an office space.

Eclipse Recruitment Driving Solutions
Eclipse Recruitment has been based at Foxhall Business Centre since our incorporation in 2008. We started out in a small two person office and have moved to larger offices as we have grown. The Business Centre staff and manager have always been very accommodating, ensuring our needs are met when we have required more space. All the offices we have rented have been excellently equipped, practical and have suited our needs perfectly. The staff are always helpful and prompt in responding to our requirements for more office furniture, additional phone lines and any other technical help we've required. The facilities in the Business Centre are very well maintained and convenient. The outstanding Reception service has been a welcome and invaluable resource that we have come to rely on. Especially for a newly incorporated business, such a backup relieves the pressure and gives new business starters more freedom and flexibility. We would happily recommend Foxhall Business Centre to any business looking for new premises or their first premises.

Teaching Personnel
Teaching personnel have been based at Foxhall Lodge for the past four years now, I took over as Branch Manager in 2010 and from my experience I would say the service has been superb. The staff are extremely helpful, supportive and very conscientious. The building it's self is such a lovely place to work. The building has character you will not find in the modern offices, which certainly helps to make a fantastic working environment.
Most recently we needed to expand offices, and the whole process was made extremely simple by Foxhall. Everything was in place on the day of the move, all we needed to do was move in. The IT and telephone systems were in place without any issues, which certainly helped take the stress out of the process. I would say without hesitation that I would recommend Foxhall's service to anyone looking to rent office space, as my experience with them has been excellent!

As a customer and client oriented business, our first response is vital - Foxhall listened to our requirements, and then actioned them. Like a good football referee they are an unusual commodity in today's market, in that we don't actually notice them too much because everything is as it should be! This is the highest compliment I could pay, as they simply enable us to do our job whilst they worry about the rest - thoroughly recommended to anyone seeking office accommodation, actual or virtual.

QuidMarket
We came to Foxhall Business Centre just under 18 months ago, as a start-up business, having seriously considered the alternative of leasing an office outright from the beginning. What was the deciding factor? Well, we had a robust business plan, and knew we would need to increase the number of personnel we employed steadily over the first couple of years as the business grew. Foxhall tailored a package for us, which flexed with our requirements, making operating from their offices very cost effective and easy. The Foxhall building looks the part, with good facilities, the management team are great, totally professional, friendly and very customer service focused. Nothing is a problem and even when you hit them with something out of the norm, they will do their utmost to deliver a solution.

Although I am pleased to say I am based in a Foxhall building, I am frequently on the move around Nottingham and regularly drop in at the other Foxhall offices to use their facilities and administrative support. Often I only need an hour or so to check emails, send a fax or write up a client proposal. However long I stay, coffee and something to eat is always welcome

Kumon Educational UK
Kumon Educational UK are long-term clients of Foxhall Business Centre, now into our fourth suite of offices as our organisation continues to expand. Location, flexibility and the professional friendly and helpful business centre team are the reasons we are happy to stay at Foxhall. The facilities, including availability of conference and meeting rooms, are valuable as we frequently need private, professional spaces for large meetings and one-to-one interviews. Secure on-site parking also gives peace of mind, as we are able to leave our pool cars overnight with confidence. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with FBC!

FCS Resourcing
Prior to moving into Foxhall Business Centre (Foxhall Lodge) in October 2009 we looked at a number of Business Centres across the City. We were impressed by the knowledge, professionalism and quality of the Centre, from the offices to the shared areas. Tom Wilton showed us a number of offices and we chose one which suited our needs at that time. The move-in was seamless with everything we required ready including all IT infrastructure, this meant we had minimal downtime moving from our former premises. We moved into larger offices in 2010 and again everything happened as planned. As a Recruitment Business we know what it means to provide outstanding service to clients, as does the whole team at Foxhall Business Centres. During our tenancy we have built an excellent relationship with their team, all of whom help our business to grow and take away the headache of self-managed premises. If you are looking at fully managed offices there is only one option!

Pemberton Catering
We often work unusual hours and our client base is not local so when all our calls are answered in a professional manner it gives the right impression. The Receptionist is aware of our diary and can patch through the call or take a message as appropriate. Handling company mail also helps a great deal so that nothing is left to chance and is prioritised properly.

We already had an office in Nottingham but wanted to relocate our main functions into our West Midlands head office. Using the Virtual Office approach enabled us to maintain our presence in Nottingham without incurring huge expenses. Furthermore we have adapted some of our working habits and as a consequence are able to offer more flexibility to our clients and employees.

Elegance Fashion & Design UK Ltd
We chose Hamilton House because of the spacious offices which had been renovated to a high standard and because of the location which made us easily accessible. The friendly staff are always available to help with any maintenance questions or problems. The great advantage for us as an established company was the ability to move in with our own furniture and equipment knowing that we could simply 'plug and play' which Hamilton House allowed us to do. The offices are well maintained, with ample facilities, and should the need arise we can use meeting rooms at nearby Foxhall Lodge as an emergency.

Twist Digital LLP
Working at Foxhall is a pleasure. The entire team, from the Management to the Maintenance and Reception staff are friendly, efficient, attentive and keen to help. Having a fully serviced office with someone who can handle our incoming and outgoing post is very convenient for us and takes a lot of time off our hands.
The amenities are very well presented, with a modern and well-kept communal kitchen area. The old Victorian style building has been beautifully renovated, and is located close to the City Centre. Bus and tram stops are just a few minutes away making it a perfect location for all of our staff to get to, and the availability of parking in the area is fantastic.
Since we first moved to Foxhall our Business has been expanding rapidly, and the team have been absolutely fantastic in facilitating our growth, finding us new office space on more than one occasion and culminating in arranging for us to move into their other building around the corner. Hamilton House is bright, airy and spacious and is perfect for our company. The Foxhall team were extremely flexible and accommodating with regards to our move - we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
