TeesAMP and Communicate create dynamic location to inspire growth
“ We all know how important it is to be able to access super-fast broadband – digital is where it ’ s at and if you don ’ t have the right set up in place , it can be detrimental to your business .”
and with minimal disruption .
“ Those locations that can offer space that allows for both office and home working , with networking space available for team sessions that require multiple attendees , whilst still observing social distancing , are ideally positioned to thrive .
“ Equally , businesses that chose such locations as their base and are able to give their staff the support they need across multiple locations , could also emerge from the current climate stronger than ever .
“ Take Tees Advanced Manufacturing Park as an example . The park is a high quality , flexible environment for innovative and dynamic businesses , which is also able to offer tenants space which supports flexible working . Communicate has installed the IT and communications infrastructure which means that anyone moving in is good to go from day one .
“ Over the coming months , locations like TeesAMP could well see a real uptake in tenancy agreements as companies look to find space which fits with a hybrid working model and plans for long-term growth .”
The Tees Advanced Manufacturing Park ( TeesAMP ) was created to nurture the next generation of innovative and dynamic manufacturing businesses , offering them state-of-the-art space and facilities in which to grow . And with the help of Communicate , developers can boast high quality accommodation which is fully connected with high-speed , fibre broadband and the IT and communications infrastructure that businesses expect . Existing tenants have been quick to praise Communicate . Ciaron McKee , managing director of Dyno Remaps , said : “ Communicate provides us with good quality , high speed internet connectivity which is essential for us , as everything we do is online . Any issues are fixed straight away , and they are always reachable .”
Glenn Bartlett , MD of Close Protection Security , added : “ Communicate worked with us from the very beginning at TeesAMP . At the time of the network installation , the office was just a shell and we worked together to design the network infrastructure that we needed for our office space .
“ The team at Communicate helped us identify the right location of the data points , and then installed the CAT6 cables to accommodate our needs . We would fully recommend them to any business .”
TeesAMP is located in Middlesbrough and was developed in partnership with Middlesbrough Council , Tees Valley Combined Authority , Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen , Middlesbrough Moving Forward , HM Government , the SSI Task Force and Cleveland Property Developments .
Mayor Houchen said : “ The Tees Advanced Manufacturing Park is a flagship development created to support the growth of companies within the manufacturing sector .
“ It continues to attract new tenants who believe it is the ideal location to support their ambitions , and with fully connected commercial space thanks to Teesside company Communicate , the park is the perfect environment for firms that need access to super-fast , fibre broadband from day one of moving in .”
Geoff Hogg , chief executive of Chaloner Group , which developed TeesAMP , said : “ Part of our aim for the construction of TeesAMP was to utilise a predominately local supply chain , which is a strategy backed by Middlesbrough Council and the mayor , Andy Preston .
“ It also fits with Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen ’ s commitment to local business support for other landmark developments such as Teesside International Airport and Teesworks and we very much share in that ambition .
“ This is the first project we have worked with Communicate Technology and have been impressed with their expertise . Its contribution to the development of TeesAMP has been essential to ensuring occupiers have high quality , futureproof infrastructure to support tenants ’ advanced manufacturing operations .”
