Derby had a
key role to play in the Industrial Revolution with its rapid advancements in
engineering, meaning it was able to assert itself as a dominant component in
the UK economy. After the invention of railways in the 19th Century,
Derby – being one of the most central UK cities – became a centre for the British
rail industry and further advanced its economic position. Today, Derby is home
to Rolls-Royce, the world’s second largest aero-engine manufacturer, so retains
its status as a centre for advanced transport production. As an important
business destination, finding a Derby serviced apartment to suit your
requirements is the first step in ensuring a successful business trip to the
area.

We pride
ourselves on service and believe that guest experience is just as important as
the apartment we source. Our 4.9/5 Trustpilot score is unparalleled in the
serviced accommodation sector and goes some way to showcase just how happy our
clients are with the service we provide, but other elements of our service
include:
·
24-hour
coverage. We have five offices worldwide open across all time zones meaning no matter
what time of day or night, you can always speak to someone in our team on the
phone.
·
Quality
assurance. We try to personally visit as many of the apartments in our
portfolio as possible to ensure they meet our strict set of quality guidelines.
We would never source an apartment for a guest that we wouldn’t want to stay in
ourselves.
·
Industry
connections. Having been in business for over 20 years, we have built strong
industry relationships with property providers in the sector meaning we can
work with our partners to ensure your booking and stay goes off without a
hitch. However unique your requirements are, whether that be you have two dogs
to relocate with you or a family of five to visit at weekends, we will do our
best to accommodate them.
·
Bilingual
team. We have a team of SilverDoorians who speak a second (or even third)
language, so whether you speak anything from French, German, to Russian, you
can speak to a member of our team without issue.
For years, business travellers suffered from a dearth
of suitable accommodation options for when they needed to travel for corporate
commitments. Hotel accommodation in Derby was far too cramped and inflexible so
serviced accommodation was built to be tailored towards to specific needs of
the travelling professional. Effortlessly combining the luxuries of hotel
stays, with the privacy and flexibility of a private rental, serviced
accommodation features a range of benefits; including:
·
Space. With an
entire apartment to yourself, your Derby serviced apartment can easily become
your base from which to live and work effectively in the city. Relax, sleep,
cook, work, exercise and host all from the comfort of your own space with
separate living, sleeping and dining areas all regularly cleaned keeping things
neat and tidy.
·
On-site
amenities. Your normal routine should not have to be compromised when you are
away on business, and with the luxury additional benefits of serviced
accommodation buildings, it doesn’t have to be. If your trip would be improved
by an on-site gym to keep up your fitness regime, or a dry cleaning service to
ensure you look sharp for important meetings, ask our booking teams and they
will select an option that suits you.
Peak District
The Peak District became the UK’s first ever national
park in 1951 and since then has remained one of the most visited in the
country, Derbyshire’s central UK location means millions of people are within
one hour of the park, meaning it’s a firm favourite for locals and visitors
alike.
Sociology
If you’re interested in sociology, Derby is home to
the philosopher who created the study. Herbert Spencer is best known for the
term ‘survival of the fittest’ which, although is sometimes credited as Darwin’s
phrase, Spencer coined during his biological studies.
Twin Town
Derby is twinned with Osnabrück in Germany as part of
the twin town initiative to promote peace and partnership between cultures.
Every year, an envoy from each town spends a year in the twin town to offer
information about their town to enrich knowledge and understanding.
