Minerva House

Minerva House is a high quality, brand new, purpose-built office on Beacon Business Park. Its construction, on a speculative basis, represents a sign of confidence by Great Yarmouth Borough Council and the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) in the town’s office market, and from its desire to ensure that top quality offices are available to occupiers seeking premises within the area. Open-plan suites are available from 132.4 to 224.2 square metres (1,425 to 2,412 square feet) and are available to let on flexible terms.

The building, part financed by European Union Objective 2 funding, is constructed to the highest specification including quality carpeting, suspended ceilings with recessed strip Category 2 lighting, comfort cooling, and an attractive and spacious double-height atrium entrance lobby.  Car parking is available at a generous ratio, and these are undoubtedly the best offices available in Great Yarmouth.

Catalyst Business Acceleration Centre

Catalyst is the latest innovation from enterpriseGY, designed not only to provide flexible, affordable premises for small businesses but also a range of specialist services to help them realise their goals.

Each tenant will have a dedicated enterpriseGY mentor/business adviser to help with things like business plans, performance monitoring and motivation. Indeed, as tenant selection will be based on growth plans, a high degree of importance will be placed on helping businesses achieve their targets within agreed periods of between 1 and 3 years. Regular adviser reviews, feedback and positive interventions will incentivise businesses to stay on track and once a business has reached its goals, it will graduate from the Catalyst facility, making room for a new venture.

The Catalyst facility is located next door to enterpriseGY’s Novus Centre on The Conge and comprises 13 individual offices, from 15sq m to 30sq m, accommodating between one and four people per unit. They are specifically aimed at businesses looking to grow - whether new start-ups or established businesses - with attractive, flexible terms.

Lease costs are all-inclusive, covering things like IT, telephony, reception services, heating, light, etc.  There is a shared meeting/lunch room and tenants can also access the Novus Centre facilities if larger rooms are needed for meetings and/or training.
