Serving the Teesside Business Community | 47 Boho Zone proves to be the key to success “The combined success of the businesses in Boho One has been phenomenal” J ust a short walk from Boho Five stands the flagship building of The Boho Zone, Boho One. Built in 2009 and housing a number of creative and digital businesses, tenants of Boho One have recently announced a quadruple celebration is on the cards with four companies expanding into new premises. Following a period of fast growth, The Creative Alchemist, Ithica Films, Appamondo and Virtual Armor have all announced that they are to expand, while staying firmly put in Middlesbrough’s Boho One building. The move will see Virtual Armor relocate to the second floor of Boho One, Ithica Films triple their existing office space with a new location on the ground floor, The Creative Alchemist move into new space boasting an additional 240 sq ft with access to an outdoor terrace and finally, Appamondo will expand into a new office almost treble the size of their previous home - taking a full floor in the front tower. The combined success of the businesses in Boho One has been phenomenal, with the four companies attracting new clients and adding to their workforce in 2016. Lisa Holt, MD at The Creative Alchemist said: “It’s great to see so many digital and creative businesses experiencing this level of growth in The Boho Zone - it’s testament to the sense of community and business benefits that Boho One offers its tenants. “Signing a new contract for Boho One and expanding within the same building was an easy decision for us to make - we couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!” Boho5_Ad_ARTWORK3mmBleed.pdf 1 26/08/2016 12:20 New office space for digital and creative businesses.
