ODT Business Interiors, one of the region’s leading office
fit-out companies, has relocated to its new headquarters as a key part of its expansion strategy.
The company, which recorded £2m worth of business alone in the past
three months, signed a 10-year lease on the ground floor of
two-storey 1580 Parkway at Solent Business Park, Whiteley. (M27 Junction 9)
ODT Business Interiors, which designs and fits out business
interiors for office and industrial clients, moved in after
completing its own £60,000 fit out of the 2,894 sq ft (269 sq m)
space.
Andrew Saunders of ODT Business Interiors said:
“Our new headquarters will act as a springboard for growth as we
look to expand organically through our client-for-life business
model.
The aim is to make the company the top business interiors
specialist in the South over the coming years, providing an
exemplary design-and-build service to clients.
Solent Business Park is home to some of the economy’s engine drivers, and it is
exciting to be part of this vibrancy.”
ODT Business Interiors has been at the heart of a range of prominent contracts. They
include the head office of First Drinks, which is Britain’s
fastest-growing distributor of drinks, at Hook, and global
drinks giant Bacardi Martini near Winchester.
Other recent projects include Baker Tilly Tax and Accounting Limited of
Basingstoke and the YOU charity in Fareham, which helps
thousands of vulnerable people in the South.
Occupiers at the park include Zurich, Matchtech Group Plc, National Air Traffic
Services, Northrop Grumman, ITV Meridian and St James Place
Wealth Management.
On behalf of global property group Goodman, ODT Business Interiors’ office has been leased at £43,410 a
year, equivalent to £15 a sq ft, through joint agents Hughes Ellard and King Sturge.
Less than 50 metres away from ODT at 1580 Parkway, the joint agents have also arranged a 10-year
lease on 1490 Parkway - 5,000 sq ft (464 sq m) for Matchtech Group Plc, a UK top-20 recruitment company.
Matchtech will use 1490 Parkway for its two new trading brands, Barclay Meade and Alderwood Education.
To this end, they appointed ODT Business Interiors to undertake the necessary
five-figure design and fit-out of the property.
