Exeter's Princesshay shortlisted for UK's Coolest Place to Work

The search for Britain’s coolest place to work sees Princesshay in Exeter rival major cities across the nation for the top spot, with businesses in the area among the most satisfied in the UK.

In a search for the most exciting, up-and-coming business districts, nationwide property management company Capital Properties has announced a shortlist of the UK’s Coolest Places to Work.

Exeter’s premier business location made the cut thanks to its eclectic mix of heritage architecture and sleek office and retail spaces.

Princesshay now vies for the title of Coolest Place to Work against the likes of Manchester’s Spinningfields, Edinburgh’s New Town, Cambridge’s Future Business Centre and Dorset’s Dolphin Shopping & Leisure precinct. The district crowned coolest place to work will receive a plaque to celebrate the achievement, with voters for the winning district being given the opportunity to win a UK city break of their own.

Mark Burgess, Managing Director of Capital Properties, said: “We were looking for the UK’s coolest business districts so that we can celebrate the diverse and dynamic cities contributing to British business today.

“The prevailing impression is often that big business takes place in big cities, but we are increasingly witnessing the rising influence of key business centres in other regions, with the South West rapidly establishing itself as an area to watch.

“Princesshay has carved out a vibrant retail, leisure and business hub that delivers not just on corporate resources but on lively social surroundings that make it a desirable place to work. This is marking Exeter as a viable destination to invest in and an exciting place to begin a career.”
