Great Wave AI, a ‘cutting-edge artificial intelligence software company’ officially opened its Lichfield base with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by its staff, Dave Robertson MP and Lichfield District Council Cabinet Member Phil Whitehouse.

The company is just one of many organisations, including Barclays and CASES (Citizens Advice South East Staffordshire) to choose The Business Hub at District Council House in Frog Lane. There are 24 modern, fully-serviced offices within the hub which benefit from a central location in a unique building, parts of which date back to 1682.

“Facilities at The Business Hub are outstanding — from the historic setting to the well-equipped offices and meeting spaces like the impressive Council Chamber.

“It’s also cost-effective, the staff are very helpful and the ability to access our space late in the evening or over weekends is crucial for a fast-moving business like ours.
