Welcome to Digital Forum Octivius 👋
Every building has a first. For Digital Forum, that first is Octavius, who have taken Studios 2 and 3 and become the founding tenants of Colchester's newest home for digital and creative business. It's a milestone we've been looking forward to since the building opened earlier this year.
Who are Octivius?
Octavius are a transport infrastructure specialist, working across the UK's rail, highways and regional civil engineering sectors. Their own description of their work is about bringing people together, which sits rather neatly in a building designed around exactly that idea. Octivius prides itself in unlocking regeneration in the areas' it delivers projects in, including Colchester, where they are working with the Colchester Instituite T-Level students.
Nationally, Octivius reports delivering over £132 million in social value, which equates to over 32% of thier turnover! Social value and corporate social responsibility is at the heart of what they do and we are embracing their approach being similiar to our own.
What happens next?
We've more space available across the building, from studios to co-working and hot desking, and conversations under way with several other businesses. If you've been curious about what's inside, come and have a look. The thoroughfare and café are open to anyone, so you can get a feel for the place over a coffee first.
Watch out for our next blog detailing other new tenants to the building 👀
For now, a proper welcome to Octavius. We're glad you're here, and we're looking forward to seeing what you build from Queen Street.
