A SHOWCASE Erewash council project to turn a complex of historic stables into a smart new hub for businesses is almost complete – with firms already able to check out the office and studio spaces on Rightmove.
The new lease of life for the building is being hailed as a major boost for Long Eaton – and is thanks to £25million of regeneration investment that is pouring into the town.
The money – which the authority helped to secure from the Government – is funding a host of projects including a massive revamp of the High Street, which is poised to start soon.
Marketing of up to 14 offices and studios – ranging in size from 280 to 700sq ft – has begun ahead of The Stables opening for business later this summer. Completion is scheduled for August.
The spaces blend old and new – with centuries-old oak beams preserved. The council has already had inquiries from potential tenants.
Richard Ledger, chairman of the Long Eaton Town Deal Board, said: “This new centre for small businesses is going to be a superb asset to Long Eaton and the whole of Erewash. Firms moving in will be delighted – and we are grateful to our contractor Trident for all their hard work.”
The Rightmove listing describes the refurbishment as “a dynamic mix of modern office spaces and well-equipped meeting rooms, complemented by bright, airy communal areas designed for collaboration and comfort.”
It continues: “The business centre also features free on-site parking and a beautifully landscaped courtyard, creating an inviting environment for tenants while supporting local wildlife and contributing to climate resilience.”

The stable block is next to Long Eaton Town Hall, which is a Grade II* listed building that dates back to 1778 when it was a grand residence for gentleman farmer John Howitt.
