Faraday Training agrees 10 year deal with the Wilton Centre to remain on Teesside

Electrical safety training provider The Faraday Training Group has taken a 10 year lease on new premises at the Wilton Centre, near Redcar, to create a new state-of-the-art training centre.

The centre’s largest letting for the last ten years, the move almost doubles Faraday’s existing training and office space and will create up to six new lecturing jobs.

The international business, which provides training for more than 2000 trainees each year, plans to open the facility in September later this year.

The new site will have three purpose designed practical areas, 14 dedicated classrooms, a purpose-built seminar room, a large canteen area and more than 60 dedicated parking spaces. Faraday Training plans to open the new facility in September 2017.

Hannah Thomas, Project Manager with Faraday Training, said: “The Wilton Centre is the perfect location to meet our needs. Its industrial setting also upholds the life-like experience we hope to convey to our candidates when attending courses at the Faraday Centre.

“As well as growing our premises we are also expanding our team. We are already looking for extra lecturing staff and may also be looking to source staff for our Marketing and Sales departments.”

Stephen Brown, Senior Partner at Middlesbrough-based letting agents Dodds Brown, which acted for the Centre in negotiating the deal, added: “It was important for Faraday to remain in the Teesside area to continue to provide electrical engineering courses for the local offshore, chemical, process and manufacturing industries.

“The Wilton Centre has a unique mix of flexible office, laboratory and plant space to meet the diverse needs of many local, regional and national businesses.”
