Planning consultancy set for expansion with Newcastle city centre base

A national planning and design consultancy has expanded its North East operations with the relocation of its Newcastle base.

Pegasus Group has moved into a new space within Adderstone Group’s Gainsborough House on Grey Street in the heart of the city.

Specialising in planning, design, environment, economics and heritage consultancy, Pegasus Group opened its Newcastle office just over 12 months ago.

A growing demand for its services has enabled the firm to expand to the Grade II listed Gainsborough House on Grey Street, which Adderstone Group acquired in 2018.

Occupying a 3,200 sq. ft office space, the company plans to expand its team in order to continue its growth.

Sandra said: “Since opening our Newcastle office last year, we have seen a much higher growth in work than we envisaged. While this is excellent news for Pegasus Group, it also reflects a level of investment and confidence in the North East that is exciting and that clearly bucks the trend of much of the UK.

“We very much wanted to be in the heart of the city, in the historic core, and what better location is there than the world-renowned Grey Street. The Suite in Gainsborough House allows us to accommodate our existing team and also provides us with the space for future growth.

“As well as providing us with superb office space, we’re looking forward to supporting Adderstone Group to deliver a range of residential, commercial and leisure schemes across the region.”

Melanie Brown, commercial estates manager at Adderstone Group, added: “Pegasus’ growth story since they moved into the city a little over 12 months ago has been very impressive.

“We worked closely with Sandra and her team to deliver their requirements for a high spec office in the heart of the city.

“The interest we have had for office space here at Gainsborough House, as well as our landmark Tyne Bridge House and Pipewell Quay office schemes, both under development on Gateshead Quays, demonstrate that the requirement is still strong for Grade A office space in the city.”
