The Atkins Building is the former home of Atkins of Hinckley who established a presence in Hinckley in 1722 and produced hosiery until 1995, by which time it was the oldest existing and operating hosiery factory in the world. In September 1995 the Atkins business was taken over by Coates Viyella who manufactured hosiery until the factory's closure in 2002. In 2008 Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council purchased the Atkins building and renovated it in to a creative business centre which was opened in September 2010. The Atkins office and studio facilities have been designed to be modern, affordable and with community in mind. Individual spaces are available in sizes from 150 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft, catering for small and growing companies from many different business sectors and can accommodate a variety of needs.
The serviced offices offer a modern, professional setting in keeping with the listed building. They are truly unique spaces, exclusive to Hinckley. Each area is equipped with its own kitchen with instant hot water. The Creative Business Centre staff are on hand to support you, receive your clients and handle your post. The office rental package comes with many features and benefits to ensure that your tenancy runs smoothly: Flexible tenancy terms, broadband/WiFi/telephone line rental, secure 24/7 access, intruder alarm, reception services, post handling, kitchen facilities, onsite café bar, IT/telephony support and nearby car parking (Pay-and-Display).
