“When we were looking to expand, we looked into a number of different locations and felt that the North East could offer exactly what we wanted. We needed somewhere which could not only support the number of people we plan to employ in terms of office space, parking and great public transport networks, but somewhere that could also provide the skilled people we need – we pride ourselves on attracting the best people, really looking after them and retaining them for the long term. All these things have come together to really help our business to thrive. What we’ve been able to achieve in such a short space of time is fantastic”
