Dock 3–5 has leased 17,077 sq ft – the entirety of its Dock 4 office building – to innovative retail marketing firm Array UK.
Supporting global brands such as L’Oreal, Maybelline, Givenchy and Boots, the firm currently employs 87 people in the UK and was previously based in Leicester’s Friars Mill Business Centre.
The move comes after international recognition of the firm’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, with Array UK earning nearly 150 industry awards across Europe.
The company joins inaugural tenants Kazzoo IT Solutions, Somerbys IT, IN Focus ITS, Employee Zero, World Products, Translatr, Impact Venture, and The VoIP Shop. The Dock development is on track to house 120+ businesses and over 600 employees once fully occupied.
Dock 3 – 5 is Leicestershire’s first net carbon-zero workspace development. Leicester-based firm Brackley Property Developments served as the development partner, with construction carried out by county-based Wilten Construction Ltd. Dock 3 – 5 is owned and run by Leicester City Council.
Leicester City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said: “I’m delighted to welcome this award-winning business – Array UK – to join the mix of other innovative businesses in our latest Dock workspace.
“Achieving 40% occupancy in just nine months is a testament to the quality of serviced workspace that is being offered here.”
Anthony Gosse, CEO of Array Marketing, said: “We are pleased to have found the right place to further strengthen our presence in the UK and EMEA. Our Leicestershire hub plays a key role in driving sustainable and innovative retail solutions for our clients.
“In EMEA, our production facility in Warsaw, with its comprehensive cross-functional team, works hand in hand with our UK employees to deliver expertly crafted, high-quality solutions. This strategic setup allows us to continue shaping the future of retail experiences while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and industry-leading innovation.”
Crystal Carter, workspace development manager at Dock, said: “Achieving 40% occupancy in just nine months is a testament to the market demand and quality of serviced workspace that we’ve built with this Dock extension.
“We’re excited to welcome Array UK, a leader in retail marketing innovation, to our growing community. It’s not just about filling spaces; it’s about fostering the right business environment. Our team is dedicated to helping tenants thrive while contributing to Leicester’s net-zero ambitions and a more sustainable future.”
