Space Design Associates expand to Stockton’s Fusion Hive

A North East design and installation company, which won former Dragons’ Den regular Theo Paphitis’ Small Business Sunday (SBS) initiative, has expanded to a larger office based at Stockton’s multimillion pound digital Fusion Hive.

Beginning trading in 2002 under the name of Catering Design Limited, the company now operates as Space Design Associates and has also launched a recent rebrand, including a new website.

Claire Richardson, Director of Space Design Associates, said: “One of the main reasons for the move is to be in a location that facilitates growth and our former office was simply not big enough to accommodate our vision.

“We are building a business that can be sustained, which means bringing in the right people, for the right positions, at the right time.

“It’s also great to be surrounded by like-minded businesses and being based at the Hive gives us direct access to potential sources of business – so we thought why would we not move?”

Claire continued: “We are currently working with business mentors to put a plan into place for company growth. With their help and continued hard work, the future is looking very bright indeed.

“Our new office premises has been chosen to accommodate expansion and I see a full office with a dedicated team, working to create perfect spaces for our clients across the UK.

“We have also just been awarded two new contracts, in new markets for us - Golf Clubs and Social Clubs - so who knows what’s next?”
