Partnership has moved into new offices at Northarbour, reports Adam Kula.
The Education Business Partnership has snatched a swish swathe of office space 1000 Lakeside.
The organisation, which helps prepare young people for work, has agreed a ten year lease on 3,000sq ft on the second floor of Highcross’ north Portsmouth Office scheme.
EBP is relocating to 1000 Lakeside from premises in central Portsmouth. The move coincides with a new marketing campaign, and chief executive Cath Longhurst said “It gives us much better access to our region, great facilities for our staff, partners and visitors and provides a platform for us to raise awareness of our work with schools and employers across south-east Hampshire.”
The organisation works closely with businesses across the region and is a not-for-profit social enterprise. It recently launched a new campaign to raise awareness and take up of work exprience placements at local companies.
Highcross director Nick Turner said “We are delighted that the Education Business Partnership has chosen to base its operations at 1000 Lakeside. Over recent months we have been involved in a range of initiatives with local schools and colleges and we look forward to building on these links, now that the EBP is located here.”
1000 Lakeside Northarbour offers office space from 2,000sq ft to 250,000 sq ft, plus a Regus business centre for companies looking for smaller premises.
The landmark building with its stunning atrium is set in landscaped grounds adjacent to Junction 12 of the M27.
Agents for 1000 Lakeside are Knight Frank and Vail Williams.
Martin Tice, partner of Vail Williams said “EBP is the latest organisation to see the benefits of moving to 1000 Lakeside over city centre premises. The range of accomodation on offer, attractive rent levels and great facilities are resulting in a continuing high level of enquiries from companies of all sizes.”
