WEBSITE COMPANY NETS UNIT AT FRIAR GATE STUDIOS
A Birmingham-based company that started life in Derby has returned to its roots - and chosen Derby’s Friar Gate Studios as the location for its second operation.
Net Syndicate, which provides website design and website development services, has taken a 331sq ft unit within the high profile studios on Ford Street in the city.
The company was established in Derby in 1999 and relocated to Birmingham in 2008.
Now it is expanding again and has chosen Derby as the base for its second office, which will provide services to its many Derby-based clients.
Net Syndicate won the Heist Award for Best Website in 2009 and recently developed a search engine for the local housing authority at Birmingham City Council and is currently designing an intranet system for North Staffordshire NHS.
Purpose-built for the creative industries and fully equipped with an extensive range of supplementary services, Friar Gate Studios provides flexible office facilities, which are ideal for new, growing and well-established businesses.
Commenting on their decision to move back to Derby, managing director David Swain said:
"Friar Gate Studios has an excellent reputation for providing quality service to growing businesses in creative industries.
"We are delighted to be returning part of our operation to Derby. Friar Gate Studios reflected our brand and company values and it is very comforting to know that the Studios have the facilities to allow us to expand without having to move again.
Centre manager at Friar Gate Studios, Ann Bhatti added:
"Net Syndicate is a great addition to Friar Gate Studios. We house some of the region’s most talented creative companies and are pleased to welcome such a progressive company back to Derby.
