First tenant in at new Stockton business park

A newly-established Stockton business park has welcomed its first tenant in the form of a Tees Valley-based accountancy practice.

JBC Accountants has relocated its Stockton workforce to the new 20,000 sq ft office complex in Preston Farm, owned by telecommunications firm Odyssey Systems. The move will see the firm rent a 3,000 sq ft. space which will house a 17-strong workforce.

JBC Accountants, which has offices in Hartlepool and Stockton, previously rented an office nearby in Preston Farm before meeting with Mike Odysseas, managing director of Odyssey Systems, to discuss JBC’s telecommunications and broadband requirements.

Paul Riggall, director of JBC Accountants, explained: “After meeting with Mike to discuss our telecommunications needs, we were shown around the newly-refurbished facilities, which had been carried out to a very high standard.

“From there, we became interested in one of the offices and Mike was very personable and understood our needs as we prepare to grow the business further.

“It was important for us to find a property that could provide us with a platform to service our future growth plans as we look to create even more jobs in the coming years.”

Mike Odysseas said: “I am delighted that JBC Accountants has become our first tenant at our business park, which is a significant occasion for Odyssey Systems.

“Paul has exciting plans for the future of the firm and it is great that JBC Accountants has chosen our new development as the base for its Stockton office. I would like to wish him and his team all the very best.”
