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.
