"As one of the UK's leading regionally based commercial law firms, Edwards Geldard first moved to Derby in 1988 as part of a major expansion drive into the East Midlands.

Following 14 years of growth, the firm relocated to impressive, award-winning new offices in a flagship development on Pride Park. This was a clear statement of our commitment to the Derby marketplace.

Such had been our rate of progress that moving to larger offices was the only option and we were certainly happy to demonstrate our confidence in the city and its business community.

Derby has an exciting future and we want to play our part in making it happen.

The prestigious three-storey 22,500 sq ft offices at Number One Pride Park offered high specification, state of the art facilities, specifically designed to suit the needs of a progressive, modern law firm. Included in the building were sophisticated meeting rooms complete with video conferencing facilities, a "breakout" area with TV and Internet café for staff.

We were attracted by the superb location which is ideally situated for our business needs and provides us with easy access to the corporate heart of Derby and the rest of the region. As we expected, the move has been a tremendous success, stimulating further growth in the business.

The building represents a major investment on our part. We have created an environment aimed at bringing out the best in our staff and one that clients will recognise as being of long term benefit because it helps us to further raise service levels."
