Hiscox Insurance has taken one of the few remaining office suites in the revamped Grand building in Birmingham city centre.

The company has agreed a five-year lease on 2,228 sq ft at a rent of £28 per sq ft with the landlord Hortons' Estate in the Imperial & Whitehall suites.

Hiscox Insurance is relocating from Bennett's Hill, where it employs 20 people and has been based since 2000 when the Birmingham office was launched.

It is the seventh company to move to the offices at the Colmore Row building since they were given a £1.5 million makeover as part of the multi-million pound redevelopment.

They will join Listers Medical Group, Maber Architects and urban design agency Node among other occupiers.

Steve Tommy, commercial surveyor with Hortons' Estate, said: "Since the launch, take up of the offices has been swift and we have now let all the larger suites, with just several smaller suites remaining.

"The brisk letting activity is testament to the quality of the office accommodation, which has been sympathetically restored to retain some of the original period features."

Johnson Fellows and Lambert Smith Hampton are instructed as letting agents on Imperial & Whitehall.

Sports store Up & Running also confirmed this week that it was moving from Temple Street to a new home at The Grand.
