Newcastle recruitment firm set for Quorum Park relocation

A Newcastle-headquartered recruitment business is set to move its flagship offices after 40 years in the city centre.

NRG is planning to relocate its base to Quorum Park in North Tyneside as part of a continued investment.

The firm intends to sign a 10-year lease on 9,400 sq ft of office space at the NEON building, in a deal secured by Quorum’s joint agents Avison Young and Cushman & Wakefield.

The move follows other recent investments including an IT transformation project which has seen all physical servers move to the Cloud, upgraded cyber security and disaster recovery systems and new hardware for all staff to support agile working and video interviewing.

Mark Smales, finance director at NRG, commented: “We are delighted to acquire a long-term lease at the NEON building.

“The set up at Quorum enables us to design an office that combines modern facilities with the recent tech investments, providing greater flexibility to both our own staff and our client offerings.

“The move will allow us to grow a more sustainable business that facilitates our next phase of growth.”

Therese Liddle, CEO at NRG, added: “We have always remained agile and willing to make bold decisions to deliver investments as we anticipate the changing trends and opportunities in our markets.

“The City Centre was a great place for NRG for many years but as we grow and offer clients more agile solutions identified even before the Covid19 crisis a shift in the way businesses recruit.

“The NEON building perfectly complements our brand and vision, allowing us to drive our business forward and facilitate our next phase of growth, while giving our teams a brilliant vibrant place to work.”
