Adur Business Centre celebrates 100 percent occupancy

 

[1] Adur Business Centre, Shoreham-by-Sea celebrates 100% occupancy this month. Since 2006, the iconic Business Centre has proved an extremely popular location for local businesses. On Wednesday, tenants and centre staff came together at a champagne celebration to mark a first in the business centre’s history.

 

Jan Houldcroft, Centre Manager, said, “I would like to thank all our tenants for making Adur Business Centre a roaring success. Despite the economic downturn, we have achieved and sustained high levels of occupancy over the last 2 years and from March this year we’re full. The Centre is a testament to the local area’s business acumen and entrepreneurialism.”    

 

Advanced Solutions International (ASI), a privately-owned global provider of software for member and donor-based non-profits, moved into serviced offices at the Adur Business Centre just under 3 weeks ago. Their office accommodation needs changed recently due to a number of employees becoming home based.

 

Caroline Mathieson, ASI’s HR and Office Manager said, “Shoreham is the ideal location for us. It’s accessible for our staff based in Worthing and Brighton, parking isn’t an issue and it has a good social scene, with new restaurants and coffee bars opening in the town. It’s very much an up and coming area that we’re delighted to be part of.”

 

“When it was time to look for alternatives to our previous offices in Stenning, we found Adur Business Centre on the GWE Business West Workspace website. We had thought that serviced offices would be expensive, but were pleasantly surprised to find this isn’t the case. Separate costs can mount up – rent, business rates, utilities etc – here it’s all inclusive and, in total, cheaper than many alternatives we looked at. And having only one monthly fixed cost makes it easier to manage and plan our finances.”

 

“The building is impressive, the interior modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the Centre staff friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. We were given a lot of support with set-up when we moved in, especially with our IT infrastructure as our needs were quite specific.”

 

The Adur Business Centre offers easy-in, easy-out serviced offices and virtual office services. Meeting room hire is available for tenants and non tenants. For further information, please visit www.adurbusinesscentre.co.uk
