ODT Business Interiors, which transforms workplaces
across southern England, has carried out an office relocation
fit-out for one of the top private technology firms in the UK.
Peach Telecom today (Monday, December 5th, 2011) moved into
two-storey St Andrew's House at 4440 Parkway, Solent Business
Park, Whiteley, near Southampton, following the work by ODT
Business Interiors.
The 9,006 sq ft (836 sq m) office, built in 2003 as part of an
office campus called The Links and named after famous golf
courses, has been let to Peach, with a five-year full repairing
and insuring lease.
Andrew Saunders, the sales director at ODT Business Interiors,
headquartered at 1580 Parkway, Solent Business Park, Whiteley,
said:

"This is
the latest contract to be completed by ODT Business
Interiors, with further exciting projects in the
pipeline across the region."

Sole commercial property agent Hughes Ellard acted for a private
investor who acquired St Andrew's House as an investment when it
was let to construction company Rok, with the office put on the
market at the start of the year.
The St Andrew's House project is the latest for ODT Business
Interiors on Solent Business Park, which is one of the leading
business parks on the South Coast. The firm created offices for
PB Digital, Ipso Facto, M12 Solutions and Seecam at The Links,
where St Andrew's House is.
Other recent contracts include Vitacress, Europe's leading
grower and packer of ready-to-eat salads, at Stoneham Gate,
Eastleigh, Hook-based First Drinks, which is Britain's fastest
growing drinks distributor, and drinks producer Bacardi-Martini
near Winchester.
Last month (November) ODT Business Interiors
was awarded a brace of contracts in the South East. Professional
staffing recruitment agency Barclay Meade, one of four companies
within AIM-listed Matchtech Group plc, selected fit-out
specialist ODT Business Interiors following "healthy demand" for
its placement services. The contracts, completed within time and
budget again, were for a 3,500 sq ft (325 sq m) dedicated office
in Covent Garden, London, and a 2,000 sq ft (186 sq m) one in St
Albans, with capacity for up to 40 and 25 staff respectively.
In the summer ODT Business Interiors completed an eight-week
project to fit out a 20,000 sq ft (1,858 sq m) warehouse
premises for precision manufacturing company FNM at 20:20 Vision
Park at Petersfield, just off the A3. FNM had relocated from
Midhurst, West Sussex.
Peach Telecom, which provides telecoms services to companies and has 65 staff, was listed ninth this
year in The Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 league table,
which ranks Britain's 100 private technology companies with the
fastest-growing sales over the latest three years.
The company
has more than doubled its turnover in the last two years,
growing organically and through acquisitions which included
Vantage Communications, Harmony Solutions and Pro-Voice.
Darren Scott-Healey, Peach's Managing Director, said:
| |
"Our
new headquarters will provide the launchpad for our
ambitious growth plans for the next three years — these
are exciting times."
|
Peach, which has 5,000 customers in the small-to-medium
enterprise sector and recorded a £ 7.1m turnover in 2010, was
previously based at Hedge End Business Park for five years. The
company supplies fixed lines and calls, broadband, telephone
systems, maintenance on all makes of telephone systems, data
solutions, hosted telephony and a 118 directory.
