Foundry: Better business is booming at Brindleyplace

In a past life, the area where Brindleyplace sits was a centre for industrial trade and commerce powered on its proximity to Birmingham’s vast network of canals. The power is back and better business is booming like never before.

Stepping into Foundry, you do have to take a minute to soak it all in. There is plenty to discover – a barista coffee station, a bar with drinks on tap, a healthy snack shop, wellbeing suites including a classroom and a tech-enabled gym and a mother and baby room.

In all four directions from the central atrium, incredible companies are supercharging better business. As with all x+why spaces, a tree grows in the middle of it all, but moreso than any other site so far, Foundry has vast space in which to grow - 47000 sqft to be exact. In fact, a whopping 42% of the building is communal space, lending itself naturally to strong community spirit and open forum for collaboration, discussion and inspiration. Hidden around the building you’ll find 23 private video call booths and 22 meeting rooms, for larger heads-together gatherings there are two purpose-built Mission Rooms.

On a Birmingham map of broad canals, the NEC, the ICC, Utilita Arena and Broad Street to name a few, push a pin in Brindleyplace for modern business and commerce at the centre of it all. Foundry offers green workspaces that support communities of businesses, employees and leaders who believe that business should be used as a force for good.

Foundry member, Tara Attfield-Tomes of East Village PR, sums it up well,

“As a business that has people and positive impact at the heart of what we do… we’ve found somewhere really unique with x+why; as well as having the B Corp seal of approval, we’re surrounded by other great businesses who all care about doing business in a better way. It’s such a brilliant community and one that, at times, feels more like a movement!”
