A letting at Vinegar Works in Worcester, which is considered to be the best office space in the city, has been successfully negotiated by GJS Dillon.

Leading software development company bluebox is set to occupy a first floor office suite at the property which is in a prominent position on Foregate Street. Vinegar Works has been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard. The development won the Best Refurbishment Award and was shortlisted for the Best Regeneration Project of the Year category in the 2023 West Midlands Property Awards.

Acting on behalf of a private pension fund, GJS Dillon’s Graduate Surveyor Kyle Pugh negotiated the 5 year lease for the 376 sq ft suite.

The team at bluebox specialises in bespoke software and has been creating innovative solutions for a broad range of clients for the last 20 years. Originally based in different locations in Malvern and Worcester, this latest move from Malvern Hills Science Park supports their growth strategy. 

Simon Chrzanowski, Managing Director at bluebox said: ‘Our team of developers is growing and in the wake of the pandemic, we’re keen to build a more collaborative and flexible office culture. We don’t need traditional offices and Vinegar Works offers fantastic modern space with a vibrant mix of people in the building’

‘We’re looking forward to being back in the city and joining Worcester’s thriving freelance and tech community. The team at GJS Dillon was really helpful, both Kyle and Susanne were excellent and facilitated the whole move.’

The letting to bluebox leaves GJS Dillon with only 2 remaining high-spec office suites available to let measuring 376 sq ft and 451 sq ft respectively.

‘We would like to wish bluebox all the best in their new premises. Developments such as Vinegar Works have created a precedence for unique space that is a destination as well as an office. Post-Covid, Worcester’s office market has been revitalised and this has pushed rental values to new highs.’  said Mr Pugh
