Office Agency secures North East base for global software business
September 2015
Our Office Agency team has secured a new North East base for LogicNow, a global market leader in the delivery of cloud-based IT service management solutions.
The software company considered a number of buildings in Newcastle city centre before opting for a 2,284sqft office suite within Metnor’s Generator Studios on Trafalgar Street.
LogicNow provide over 12,000 Managed Service Providers and IT support companies with the integrated management platform that delivers comprehensive remote monitoring and management capabilities with integrated email security, hybrid cloud backup and recovery, and full-featured service management functionality.
The company which has headquarters in Edinburgh and offices across the globe, including North America, Europe and Australia, says the new office space in Newcastle will provide the ideal location for its continued expansion.
Stephen Garland, Senior VP of engineering at LogicNow said: “With a reputation for having a strong and vibrant technology scene, Newcastle seemed like the natural choice for the latest addition to our tech hubs. We have seen tremendous growth in our business over the last five years fuelled by innovation in our product range. Our new base at Generator Studios will provide an ideal location from which to drive that growth. We are now looking to expand our data scientist and engineering teams in Newcastle.”
Generator Studios is an award-winning office development offering over 40,000sqft of innovative work space and an excellent IT infrastructure with superfast broadband. Existing occupiers include Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners, Gardiner Richardson, Real Time Claims and Darnton B3 Architecture.
Simon Taylor, head of office agency at Naylors said: “From our first meeting it was clear that LogicNow required a building that not only offered a good city centre location but also a modern, flexible workspace to accommodate their growth over the next few years. Generator Studios certainly offers that together with an innovative interior design and the benefit of communal services such as a dedicated staffed reception, meeting rooms and catering facilities.”
Jamie Mableson, senior development manager at Metnor Property Group added: “We are delighted that LogicNow, with the assistance of Naylors, have chosen Generator Studios to establish their presence in the North East. This letting is the fifth in recent months and will be a complimentary addition to our existing occupiers”.
