“Our drive to create a future-ready working environment with high-class facilities, coupled with our commitment to a highly sustainable building has been a real draw for companies moving to The Forum. There has already been overwhelming confidence demonstrated by other companies showing strong interest in the remaining workspaces.”
Set to open later this year, The Forum development will also feature shops, restaurants, and a Hotel Indigo, forming part of Gloucester’s broader £200m regeneration scheme which includes the University of Gloucestershire’s City Campus development on Kings Square.
