A newly opened office development in Middlesbrough has attracted its first tenants, creating 20 jobs.
Offshore and engineering training provider Consulting & Training UK is moving into Central Point Business Centre, the former Midland House building on Linthorpe Road.
It’s the company’s first Teesside base - and the first time that a company of this kind has operated in Middlesbrough.
Central Point, based at what was originally the site of the Grand Opera House, is letting space to start-ups and growing small businesses.
Consulting & Training UK will provide education and training for both UK and overseas companies in the engineering and offshore sectors. Its newly-established sister company, Tees English School, which will teach English to overseas students.
Its new home, located next to Teesside University’s latest building project, will allow for easy access to educational facilities including the library. Together the businesses will employ up to 20 people.
Director Aryan Ahmad said: “The Central Point location is perfect for students, right next to the university and the library. We looked at a few places in Middlesbrough but this place really stood out.”
Central Point Business Centre, which is being delivered by Teesside-based Linthorpe Developments, offers retail units and serviced office spaces with high-speed broadband and access to shared amenities including meeting rooms, a board room and kitchens. The developer has also launched an ‘Angel Investor’ equity finance scheme to take a minor stake in a business and provide support, advice and guidance.
Healthy food restaurant, Nosh Healthy Kitchen, is also due to open at the centre.
Geoff Hogg, of Linthorpe Developments, said: “We welcome this new tenant to Central Point and the employment it brings.
“We will imminently be announcing another new tenant and it’s an encouraging sign for the local economy that there are new businesses eager to start up in the building almost as soon as it has opened its doors.
“We have made Central Point as welcoming and easy as possible for new and growing businesses and I’m confident that Consulting and Training UK and Nosh Healthy Kitchen will be followed by new businesses eager to take advantage of our great, facilities, location and `easy in, easy out’ terms.’’
