Lesniak Swann has moved into a new office at the historic former Spode site in Stoke-on-Trent.
The refurbished space is now home to number of established and start-up creative businesses.
“We’ve been located in Stoke for over twenty years; our first offices were in an old tyre garage next to a pub just up the road from Spode. We’re excited to be based in a cluster of like-minded but complementary businesses that has a real sense of momentum behind it – I know for a fact there is a waiting list for office space in other parts of the site,” said Alex Swann, Managing Director of Lesniak Swann.
“The move will support our continued growth in a number of ways, not only because we’d be near to a decent hostelry again. Being based close to our peers means easier collaboration to share best practice. It’s also hugely important to attracting and keeping the great talent coming out of both Staffordshire and Keele universities as graduates can see there is a clear route to finding a well-paid creative job locally within a support network of businesses.
“Crucially, all of the createch businesses work with big brands here in the UK and further afield, so talented people don’t have to look outside of the area to build an impressive CV right out of university.”
The office is a former workshop for the famous Spode brand and would originally have housed pottery throwers, designers and painters.
The agency has been “growing rapidly” following a number of international client wins.
