Jobs boost in Neptune North office revamp

A tech firm says it has laid foundations for new jobs after completing an office fit-out.

Neptune North has revamped its base in Newcastle’s Bank House high-rise.

Bosses say the work will boost a drive to deliver more than 200 posts by the end of the year.

They add its 10,000sq ft Bank House space will “provide a workplace of an exceptional standard… as it recruits candidates across the UK and overseas”.

The 12-week project was carried out by construction and project management consultancy Summers-Inman, which has bases in Newcastle and Billingham, near Stockton.

James Beard, chief executive of financial services and investment market software development firm Neptune North, said: “In our bid to attract leading software developers and data engineers to Newcastle, we have put a great deal of thought into the design of our new office.

“Now the fit-out is complete, we have a first-class working environment.”

Andy Rapmund, Summers-Inman associate director and project lead, added: “We have plenty of similar experience on both large and small projects up and down the country, so we were delighted to be recommended for this project. 

“We began with a shell and floorplate and from this blank canvas a high-quality, ergonomic and attractive modern office and workspace has been created in the heart of the city.”

Summers-Inman worked with Manchester-based design and build contractor ADT Workplace on the project.

Mike Millward, ADT Workspace commercial manager, said: “We have created a first-class working environment for Neptune North, and it has been a pleasure to undertake a project of this calibre in such a landmark building for the city.

“It is the first time we have worked with Summers-Inman and we’ve enjoyed developing a strong and collaborative relationship with their team.”

Bank House was designed by Ryder Architecture and built by Bowmer + Kirkland.
