Work to create a new enterprise centre in Arnold town centre aimed at supporting local businesses in their growth and development has now been completed.
The centre has been opened at the flagship AMP building in Arnold and is ideal for local startups and small-to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Gedling Borough Council have invested funds, supported by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) into fitting out the previously vacant first floor of the AMP, transforming it into modern office spaces and a meeting room.
The facilities also include parking, an EV charging point and a shower room, so that tenants can choose sustainable travel options.
The commercial space is available to let on flexible lease terms and offers prospective tenants competitive rent and the opportunity to be part of a vibrant business community, with an on-site Post Office.
The AMP, located on the former Arnold Market site, opened in 2022 and has since become home to several successful small businesses on its ground floor.
Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John Clarke MBE, said: “We’re thrilled to announce the completion of the Enterprise Centre at the AMP.
“This new space will provide a vital resource for local businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs looking for office space in the heart of Arnold. We’ve seen the success of the ground floor units and we are confident the first floor will follow suit, bringing more jobs and growth to the area.”
Councillor Jenny Hollingsworth, portfolio holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy at Gedling Borough Council, said: “The AMP’s expansion is yet another step in our commitment to boosting the local economy and providing essential support for businesses. The energy efficiency measures will benefit new tenants and contribute to the council’s commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030”.
