They haven't got far to move
Nottingham's famous Raleigh company is moving from its Eastwood headquarters to another site less than five minutes away. The business has announced its relocation to Durban House.
The property, which later became a D.H. Lawrence Heritage Centre, has been a symbol of local heritage and cultural pride, so was a natural site of interest for Raleigh whose past is also entwined with the local area.The relocation marks the first stage of a longer-term plan between Raleigh and Broxtowe Borough Council, which had two primary objectives: to restore Durban House to its former glory and to create a functional business space.
The council, through UK Shared Prosperity Fund, has identified new locations for community activities. Some community projects connected to the hub, such as the gardening group, will continue to work on the grounds of Durban House and the surrounding area. Raleigh, which recently launched the iconic Chopper bike in two retro colours, added it was committed to supporting community activities outside of working hours wherever possible.
"Durban House represents an exciting next step in our long-term strategy, offering a space that not only honours our past but also aligns with our vision for future growth as we continue to invest in our ambitious plans for the bicycle business.”
