Cardiff business centre opens after million pound makeover

A business centre in Cardiff has had a makeover costing more than one million pound.

Quest House in St Mellons Business Park on the outskirts of Cardiff has been refurbished in a bid to attract local businesses back to the office environment.

The 22,000 sq ft modern office building now offers an outdoor courtyard with meeting pods and high specification rooms, ranging from 100 sq ft to 7,250 sq ft in size, with fully-equipped meeting rooms and private video call booths.

There is also a modern fitted kitchen and seating area plus super-fast broadband at the site.

The building will be less than a five minute walk from the new Cardiff Parkway train station which plans to open in 2024, and will have commuter trains running between Cardiff Central, Bristol and other UK cities daily.

Quest House is part of the wider Cardiff-headquartered property management group WCR Space.

The firm offers a range of flexible and leased working spaces and have multiple locations across the UK including offices in Cardiff, Caerphilly, Bristol, Kent, and Northampton.

Currently, Quest House has an occupancy rate is 76% with tenants including Welsh Rugby Association, architect group Think Urban, charity Versus Arthritis, and graphic design agency Carrick Creative.

Centre manager at Quest House Jenny Hardaker said: "We are excited to offer our tenants a warm welcome to Quest House where they can feel part of our growing community as well as taking full advantage of our office service facilities. The Cardiff Parkway development is also going to be a welcome addition and really put Quest House on the map for a desirable working location."

She added: "The world has changed dramatically over the last two years, particularly in the way we work and where we work. Working from home can take a toll on our work/life balance, mental wellbeing and overall health.

"Therefore, we want to create a unique space for tenants, and are proud to say that our air-conditioned offices have countryside views and the outside courtyard with plenty of greenery is for everyone’s usage. We have also injected fun elements into the interiors, and our love of the outdoors and music is duly known throughout the building.”
