More room for Sunderland's Space ID

The award-winning company has recently taken additional space within the North East Business and Innovation Centre (Bic) to accommodate their recent growth.

Directors Mike Simmons, Marc Hardy and Phill Young’s team covers all areas of design from initial concepts, 3D visuals, site surveys and local authority applications through to full design packages and on site design management to realise their client’s projects and aspirations.

“The market has greatly improved within the construction sector and we have taken this upturn as an opportunity to expand,” said Phill.

“We have a range of new projects in various stages of design and construction at present situated around the UK and are taking briefings on future works”

“Having recently recruited two interior designers and with plans for a possible further two members of staff in the future, the extra space was not only needed to accommodate the expanding team but will also help us to maintain our links with Local Universities.

“We teamed up with the University student placement scheme which allows the next generation of design talent to gain hands on experience within a design company. In fact, one of our newest team members originally came to us on a placement from Teesside University.”

“Being based just off the A19 and slightly outside of the city centre is very convenient and there is more than enough car parking space. We can also see the benefits and opportunities that the new bridge will bring once complete.

“Moving offices couldn’t have been easier, the Bic staff were brilliant and the IT and telephone systems were set up immediately, so we were never without access.”

Bic centre manager Donna Surtees said: “We are delighted to provide a dynamic and supportive environment to accommodate the growth of Space ID.

“I wish them the very best in their new office and with their plans for further expansion.”
