We are delighted to welcome the newest tenant to The Business Hub at District Council House.

Great Wave AI, a ‘cutting-edge artificial intelligence software company’ officially opened its Lichfield base on Friday 26 September 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.

Harrison Kirby, of Great Wave AI, said:

“Lichfield is a well-connected city with excellent transport links into Birmingham and beyond. The Midlands is home to a strong pool of AI and technology talent, and we’re committed to offering opportunities that are too often concentrated in London.

“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.

“We’re excited to grow our team and host future events here, right in the heart of Lichfield.”

Councillor Richard Holland, Lichfield District Council’s Cabinet Member for High Street and Economic Development, said:

“We’re delighted to welcome Great Wave AI to The Business Hub. Their decision to base operations here highlights the value of our modern workspace in Lichfield city centre as a destination for ambitious tech companies. We’re committed to fostering innovation and economic growth in the region and today marks another positive step in that direction.”
