The company, which recently bought and upgraded three large Georgian townhouses on Friargate, Derby, is the operations arm of PKL Investments, which owns and is converting the building.
The former factory is directly behind the Stay Company's existing apartments, in the Friarsgate area. It is being converted into eight two-bedroom apartments.
Each apartment will feature a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining and seating area, and free private parking is also available on site.
A planning statement prepared by Gaskell on behalf of PKL Investments last year said the plans for the factory "play an economic role by providing jobs though the construction and occupation of the proposed development. The addition of serviced apartments allows for some of the larger employees within the city to provide additional staff accommodation as and when required."

“Recharge for us was that gathering of highly skilled professional individuals...and a true opportunity to spend 24-48 hours with these guys, build relationships, build a true understanding of how the different sectors within this hospitality world operate. From my perspective...in terms of the coliving, student accommodation and apartment-orientated industries, it was a really good opportunity to learn how those verticals operate, and how perhaps what we do as an organisation can be referenced within that particular vertical.”
Matthew Prosser, Senior Sales Director - Agilysys
