Nomadic - A Growing Luxury Watch Brand in Belfast

About Nomadic Watches

Nomadic Watches is a luxury watch brand based in Belfast, crafting handmade timepieces that connect people to their roots. Founded in 2021, Nomadic has grown from a solo venture by founder Peter McAuley, into a thriving team of eight, with its headquarters located in venYou’s iconic Scottish Provident Building in the heart of Belfast city centre.

The Brief

When Nomadic began searching for premises, they sought a space that reflected their luxury brand and aligned with their business values. The team wanted a building in the city centre that offered character, top-tier facilities, and a setup that was both flexible and scalable to support their growth. venYou delivered across the board. The Scottish Provident Building’s heritage, central location and unique charm made it a natural choice, while the friendliness and professionalism of the venYou team helped to seal the deal.

Choosing the Right Office

Nomadic initially had concerns about whether the office space in Scottish Provident Building would meet their needs. venYou addressed these reservations by offering the team a trial period in the building, allowing Peter and the team to experience the space before committing. This approach eased all reservations and gave Nomadic confidence that the work space was the perfect fit.

Additionally, part of venYou’s offering is providing clients with the opportunity to customise and personalise their space when they move in. Whatever space Nomadic decided to take would have the potential to be tailored and adjusted to create a work environment that both their team and customers could enjoy.

The venYou Difference

One of Nomadic’s requirements when selecting their new office space, was that it must be equipped with top-tier facilities. From modern, serviced kitchens to an excellent reception team that handles calls and welcomes clients with a friendly face, and the facilities have consistently exceeded expectations in every area.

Another requirement was that their new office space would be agile enough to grow with the business and provide consistency. venYou prides itself on providing clients with scalable solutions. As the business has grown, Nomadic has expanded its office space three times within venYou, with each transition managed seamlessly by the team without any disruption to their operations. 

venYou has not only met Nomadic’s requirements of an office space, but it has gone above and beyond to provide both proactive and responsive support. When a VIP client announced a last-minute visit, venYou’s reception team quickly dispatched cleaners to ensure the office was immaculate, showcasing their commitment to going above and beyond.

Results

Serviced offices at venYou have been a game-changer for Nomadic. With the venYou team managing maintenance, utilities, cleaning, and security, the Nomadic team can focus on running and growing their business without distractions.

For Nomadic, the investment in venYou serviced offices has been invaluable. As Peter explains, “Serviced offices allow me to focus on running the business rather than spending time on minor details. It frees up my time and reduces stress, which is critical as an entrepreneur.”

Summary

venYou’s serviced offices have been a vital part of Nomadic’s growth journey, offering a flexible, high-quality workspace that enables the team to focus on their craft. The partnership has provided more than just a base; it has supported Nomadic’s vision and brand, making venYou an essential investment for their future success. As the luxury watch industry evolves, Nomadic sees the demand for in-person interactions growing. venYou’s city centre location provides the perfect space to meet clients in an environment that reflects their premium brand.

Peter’s advice to other businesses would be, “Request a trial period and experience the workspace for yourself. Your time as an entrepreneur is your most valuable asset, so it pays to focus on critical business issues rather than dealing with blocked sinks or cleaning.”
