Clearbell UK Strategic Trust (CST), advised by Clearbell Capital LLP, has completed the full letting of 55 Maid Marian Way in Nottingham, following the agreement of a new lease with one of the UK’s leading education recruitment agencies Affinity Workforce Solutions. 

Affinity Workforce specialises in supplying temporary and long-term teaching and support staff to primary, secondary and SEND schools, as well as colleges, universities and prisons. The organisation has taken 2,881 sq ft of office space on a five-year lease, meaning the property now stands fully occupied across its five floors totalling over 14,600 sq ft. 

The firm’s new workspace achieved an EPC B rating following a comprehensive refurbishment. Works included installing energy-efficient LED lighting throughout, new carpets, adding a fully equipped kitchenette and a roof terrace that staff can access. Additional improvements include a new suspended ceiling grid and fully refurbished toilets, while the buildings rear stairwell has also been upgraded. 

Affinity Workforce joins an established community of occupiers at the leading workspace, including global recruitment consultancy Metric Search and wealth management platform FNZ UK. 

Located on one of the main thoroughfares of Nottingham, Maid Marian Way is within walking distance of the central Market Square and close to all major transport routes, including tram, bus and road access out of the city centre.  

The successful letting reflects broader positive sentiment in regional office markets, where Clearbell has been actively investing across its fund portfolios. This aligns with renewed occupier demand in prime city centre locations, as UK-wide office take-up reached 20.3 million sq ft in Q2 2025 – the highest in three years, according to CBRE. Clearbell UK Strategic Trust (CST), a Trust advised by Clearbell Capital LLP, has completed the full letting of 55 Maid Marian Way in Nottingham, following the agreement of a new lease with one of the UK’s leading education recruitment agencies Affinity Workforce Solutions.
