Bruntwood SciTech to become new Birmingham base for business advisory firm

One of the UK’s leading mid-tier business advisory firms, Sedulo Group, has announced its expansion in Birmingham following growth success in the city, opening a new regional base at Bruntwood SciTech’s Cornwall Buildings. 

The company's new base of 5,000 sq ft in the Grade II-listed city centre innovation hub, strategically situated in the heart of the Colmore Business District will support the company’s burgeoning growth and enable their new hub to support up to 40 people.

The business first established a presence in Birmingham in March 2024, through the acquisition of R&D tax specialists, BTA Services.

Sedulo is on track to double in size over the next three years, and a new Birmingham base represents a key step in its national growth strategy.

The move to Cornwall Buildings, owned and operated by the UK’s largest property platform dedicated to the growth of the tech, innovation, and science sectors, supports Sedulo’s commitment to developing and scaling its offer, including investing in increasingly sophisticated R&D processes. 

The move to Cornwall Buildings will see Sedulo push forward plans for a leisure and events space within the building that will echo the spirit of the iconic Metro Bar – a former business social hub housed in the same building and considered one of Birmingham’s most iconic venues in the late 90s and early 00s.

Sedulo will use the space to host regular networking events, aimed at reconnecting Birmingham’s business professionals and sparking new pan-sector collaborations. The space will offer immersive experiences for business events and networking, with décor inspired by prominent Birmingham brands such as Typhoo, Lloyds Bank and Cadbury. 

Rob Valentine, regional director for Bruntwood SciTech, said: “Sedulo joining Cornwall Buildings underlines the benefits that the city can provide firms that are constantly seeking out opportunities for growth – offering an environment that supports their momentum and affords extensive networking opportunities to drive innovation.

Paul Cheetham, founder and managing partner of Sedulo, added: “The move to Cornwall Buildings will enable us to expand our services and support our wider national growth strategy, with access to high profile professional services and innovative businesses, as well as the opportunity to connect with new talent and professionals as part of our plans to revitalise networking in the city. 

“Joining the Bruntwood SciTech ecosystem was a big draw for the move and will help support our future growth plans, through new connections, collaboration, and access to growth support.”

Sedulo’s office fit-out is expected to complete by summer 2025, with a two-day launch event set to celebrate the opening in June.

The event will feature entertainment and welcome guests from across the city’s business and professional community.

Previous events hosted by Sedulo have included entertainers such as Gok Wan, Liberty X, Emeli Sandé and Damage.
