History
Citibase was formed in 1993, by David Joseph and Ian Read who previously had experience of the sector whilst working in the serviced office operations at London & Edinburgh Trust PLC. The business was based around the concept of flexibility for small businesses and was launched at a time when the United Kingdom was beginning to emerge from a period of recession.
The company’s first location was in the Minories in the City of London, when the building was taken on as part of a management contract. The company has since expanded following the acquisition of existing business centres, the largest of which was in 1999 when six centres were added in a single transaction with Bridge House (Bewdley) Limited, a subsidiary of Birkby PLC (“Birkby”). This acquisition was funded by an issue of shares to the vendor. As part of the transaction, Birkby’s Chief Executive joined the Citibase board as a non-executive director and Birkby acquired 15 per cent of Citibase PLC.
In January 2007, Steve Jude was appointed as Chief Executive with the remit to streamline and develop the company going forward and to grow the business organically and by acquisitions.
Citibase is now the largest independent business centre operator in the sector. The company further plans to expand.
