Commercial property agents Siddall Jones have let one of the landmark buildings in Birmingham’s “Mayfair” in the Jewellery Quarter.
Global security solutions provider Suprema Systems UK Ltd has taken 12 St Pauls Square on a five year lease and the company is moving from smaller premises at Branston Court in the Jewellery Quarter.
Ed Siddall-Jones, managing director of Siddall Jones, said: “We are still seeing significant activity in self-contained office buildings and offices under 5,000 sq ft across Birmingham, and St Pauls Square is recognised as one of the most popular and prestigious locations – the ‘Mayfair’ of the city.
“The property has been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard and retains many character features including a basement bar and events space.
“Siddall Jones has a particularly strong foothold and representation in the Jewellery Quarter and we are delighted to have secured such a prestigious international tenant for our client in this latest deal.”
Suprema Systems UK Ltd is part of the global Suprema Inc, which is headquartered in South Korea. It supplies access control systems to businesses, including biometric readers. The UK office in Birmingham currently employs ten staff, with ambitious plans to recruit further employees.
Jamie McMillen, managing director of Suprema Systems UK Ltd, said: “We had outgrown our offices in Branston Court, having already recruited significantly in 2022, so we were on the lookout for more space. Our new offices give us high end, up-to-the-minute, refurbished office space in a period building in the delightful setting of St Pauls Square.
“Having been in the UK security market for six years now and seen exceptional growth in the last two of those, despite the pandemic, Suprema Inc and Suprema Systems UK see this is as an opportunity to reinforce their investment in the UK market.
Law firm Wallace Robinson & Morgan acted for the landlord, and Suprema Inc was advised by its in-house legal team.
