The first episode of THE HOUR was shown on BBC1 this week and you can tell that the production team at the BBC have realised the interest in Vintage Retro style as most of the first episode was shot in a late 1950s office environment. One scene showed the two main characters discussing the merits of what they described as an Anglepoise lamp which Freddie Lyon,  played by Ben Whishaw, had bought for Bel Rowley, played by Romola Garai. Questioning the BBCs’ continuity, it appears that the lamp in question was not in fact an Anglepoise but more likely to be a Memlite. If anyone reading this can identify it, our lighting ‘nerd’ in the office would love to know. If you have an office and you want to get…

Interview with Richard Priestly MD of Exeid.com following the recent acquisition of St Nicholas Court a Commercial Office Property on Castle Gate Nottingham.

Six months on and we revisit Exeid.com and their latest office acquisition St Nicholas Court 25 to 27 Castle Gate, Nottingham. We talked with Managing Director Richard Priestley: So Richard, you acquired this building in the thick of what has been described as the most difficult trading conditions for 70 years in the commercial property sector. Was that a foolhardy or smart move and why? To be fair it was almost a bit of both. The property was first identified as a target by our CEO a few of years back. Basically, it was approximately 60% vacant but at that time the  requirement to pay “empty rates liability” had not kicked in so the price tag, whilst much higher than what was eventually paid, was almost justified. So why wasn’t…

Parking Leicester avoids the work place parking Levy

Exeid News, Leicester, Parking
PARKING LEICESTER - Contract parking in Leicester can be a sore subject but surprisingly Leicester is much better serviced than its near neighbour and rival, Nottingham  in this regard. Unlike in Nottingham, businesses and employees in Leicester are not likely to be squeezed by the taxman via the Work Place Parking Levy,  well not for the moment that is. On the other hand, we won’t benefit from the fantastic tram network that is developing in Nottingham and which is to be the main beneficiary of the millions raised by the new tax. Leicester city benefits from closer links to London  and has a comprehensive bus service. This combined with the availability of good value contract parking mean that all sectors of society are well catered for.  With this in mind…

19 Castle Gate, Exeid News, Nottingham, Office space, Stanford House
  If you like Georgian Architecture and  Buildings then you'll absolutely LOVE Stanford House in Nottingham. Stanford House is a Georgian  Gem in the heart of Nottingham only 60 seconds stroll from Marks and Spencer’s and the Broadmarsh, Jamies Italian Nottingham, Paul Smith and Carluccio’s are also near by. It has recently undergone a sensitive restoration with the original aim of becoming the Harrods of Nottingham. Sadly, complicated planning and building control rules put the blocks on what would have been a fantastic addition to the Nottingham Retail Tourism and Leisure scene (for the moment at least). In a few  weeks time we will have an in-depth interview with David Ajose the man with the plan to breathe new life in to this wonderful building. We hope to find out much…
