First Contact procures seven Gateshead office suites
Facilities management company First Contact has leased seven office suites in Metropolitan House, Gateshead, from The Office Co.
The Tyneside firm, which provides managed and serviced accommodation, has leased more than 1,800 sq. ft. of office space to the expanding First Contact.
The move is set to accommodate First Contact’s growth plans, which follow its demand for its contact centre business and facilities management services.
Neil Wilson, who established First Contact Management Ltd, said: “The flexible, value-for-money lease arrangements provided by The Office Co are aligned with our plans, in particular the expansion of the workforce as the contact centre gears-up its activity at Metropolitan House over the next 12 months.
“2016 will be an extremely busy year for us as we go for continued strong growth, particularly around our contact centre operation.
“The capacity for additional flexible office space will be critical in helping us to achieve this, and I can think of no where better that will provide this than Metropolitan House.”
He added that Metropolitan House offers good quality space that can accommodate his ambitious expansion plans but without all the associated costs and commitment involved in renting dedicated offices.
He concluded: “Owner Lynn Gate and her daughter Rebekah are professional in their approach, while the package of support along with the other added value services, are important reasons why we are very happy to remain here and build on the successes to date.”
