Crowe announces new central Birmingham office
Crowe has announced a new central Birmingham office to support its continued growth ambitions in the Midlands.
The growing profile of Birmingham as a hub of digital business, and technologically capable talent has seen a succession of consultancies arrive in recent years. Big Four firm PwC moved its 2,000 Birmingham staff into a new office at One Chamberlain Square in 2020, while rival EY announced it will shift its presence in the city there by 2026. Forvis Mazars, which has been at the complex for several years already, is set to refresh its presence there, with a new, larger space at Three Chamberlain Square. Meanwhile, Accenture announced this year that it would be taking up residence in the Bruntwood SciTech cluster.
Now, audit, tax, advisory and consulting firm Crowe has opened a new office in Birmingham. Moving into the entire eighth floor of the One Colmore Row building, located in central Birmingham, the 4,169 square foot office space has positioned the firm to enhance the services it offers to clients in the region.
Ross Prince, managing partner of Crowe in the Midlands and Southwest, commented, “Colmore Row is traditionally Birmingham’s most prestigious address, and the Colmore Row Business District is filled with well-respected businesses. The office’s prime location positions us in the heart of the city’s dynamic business community and enables us to be even more connected to our clients and wider business network.”
The new office boasts extensively refurbished Grade A spaces and sustainability credentials, including a zero waste to landfill policy and 100% green energy usage, aligning to Crowe’s wider sustainability strategy. It will also initially serve as a base for Crowe’s local advisory and consulting teams to support the ongoing expansion of their capabilities.
Prince added, “To begin this exciting chapter, we have initially relocated some of our local advisory and consulting teams based in our nearby Oldbury office. At the same time, we remain committed to investing in our existing offices in the Midlands Southwest to continue to deliver the quality of service our clients expect.”
One Colmore Row is located next to Snow Hill station and the city’s Metro line, and is a short walk from New Street station, with its links to Birmingham International Airport. To that end, Crowe CEO Nigel Bostock added that the central location and refurbished spaces, designed with collaboration in mind, truly reflect modern and dynamic ways of working.
He explained, “This investment reinforces our commitment to our clients and further strengthens our connection to the business community – both in Birmingham and across the UK.”
