We've brought our Internet of Things firm to Sunderland
A fast-growing firm that specialises in the “Internet of Things” has relocated to a Sunderland business park.
The Internet of Things is the term given to the connection of everyday items, such as household appliances, to the internet using sensors, software, and technologies to collect, share, and act on data.
Founded in County Durham, Plexus Innovation produces advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technology that delivers remote monitoring solutions for managing water systems, improving health and safety, and supporting regulatory compliance through real-time data and monitoring.
The firm’s technology is currently used by more than 35 NHS Trusts, alongside a range of high-profile public and commercial sector clients. Its solutions are also deployed in complex and historically significant buildings, including major London landmarks such as the Old Bailey and Tower Bridge.
Now, as the firm grows, Plexus has relocated from Stanley to the Evolve Business Centre in Houghton.
Managing Director Steve Todd said: “We chose Evolve because of its modern facilities, flexible workspace, and the supportive business ecosystem it offers.
“The new office will provide us with the space and infrastructure needed to support our expanding team, enhance collaboration, and continue developing innovative solutions for our growing client base.”
Owned and operated by Sunderland City Council, Evolve Business Centre is home to scores of businesses.
Cllr Kevin Johnston, Cabinet Member for Housing, Regeneration and Business at Sunderland City Council, said: “It’s fantastic to see yet another innovative business relocating to Evolve and creating highly skilled jobs for local people.
“The business centre was established to provide an environment for new and growing businesses in the North East to thrive, and the relocation of Plexus Innovation to Sunderland is a fantastic example of how it continues to do just that.”
