Creative Space Management is to operate as Facilities Manager at Yorkshire Forward’s Round Foundry Media Centre in Leeds, Yorkshire’s leading location for digital, creative and media businesses.

From 1st June 2006, Creative Space Management will take responsibility for the further management and development of the successful, £10 million facility which is home to over 60 companies and almost 200 people. 

Creative Space won a fiercely fought tender with an imaginative, competitive and highly professional proposal. 

Creative Space Management was established in 2005 and is quickly establishing itself as a pioneering and creative Facilities Management company. With contracts for London Development Agency, Doncaster Metropolitan Council and Igloo Regeneration, it offers solutions for operating specialist facilities specifically for the creative and knowledge industries.

By providing focused and professional services we will ensure that companies will have the best chance to grow their business in a friendly, professional and funky environment.”

The existing staff team will all continue to work at Round Foundry Media Centre. 

Andrew Clay, Centre Manager said:

RFMC is the place to come for a range of services from web site designers to event managers so it has been a privilege for my team and I to have contributed to this success.  We are proud of our achievements to date but more importantly we look forward to the challenges that lie ahead under the aegis of Creative Space Management Ltd.

Creative Space Management has grown from 1 to 7 people in five months and are one of the fastest growing specialist Facilities Management companies in the UK.

With the enormous increase in small businesses over the last five years (almost 55% of  UK GDP is now generated by small businesses), providing high quality space for particular sectors is becoming more and more important. Collaboration and skill sharing are essential characteristics of the new economy and clusters of like-minded businesses create the perfect environment for growth.
