An expanding provider of specialist staffing and managed services has leased additional head office space at a thriving business park in Hampshire.
Carbon60 – named after a bonding molecule – has signed 743 sq m (8,000 sq ft) at Delme 1, Delme Place, on the Cams Hall estate in Fareham.
The firm, with 55 people on site and a further 85 across the UK, sources engineers and technicians for leading companies around the world, from aerospace to railways.
Carbon60, also provides aerospace training courses and consultancy.
Commercial property consultancies Hughes Ellard and Lambert Smith Hampton are marketing Delme Place as joint agents. The building is owned by Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust.
A five-year lease was signed, for the new office space and the first floor, at £89,500 per annum.
Other occupiers at Delme Place are manpower consultancy Gerrell & Hard, data services specialist ServerHouse and Cobweb Solutions, the largest independent hosted exchange provider in Europe, delivering a range of hosted communication tools to more than 5,000 small and medium-sized business customers.
Steve Howard, Carbon60’s operations director, said: “We’ve worked out of the first floor for some time now and demand for our services meant we needed to lease the ground floor directly below.
“Carbon60’s specialist teams provide a high-quality recruitment solution to a range of clients, from SMEs to blue-chip organisations.
“Business development, account management and candidate attraction are all key elements of the roles within our specialist teams – and we look for candidates with ambition, tenacity and a proactive approach.”
Steve added: “We’re grateful to Russell at Hughes Ellard for ensuring the deal involving our new office at Delme Place was as smooth as possible.”
Russell Mogridge, the business space director at Hughes Ellard, which has its head office on the estate, said: “Delme Place is nearly full, with just one ground floor office suite available at Delme 2, part of the thriving Cams Hall estate close to the waterside and golf course.
“The calibre of names here, such as Carbon60, is superb, generating local and regional employment. The powerful internet connectivity at Cams is also a magnet for high-tech companies.”
Carbon60’s corporate teams deliver a high-quality, high-touch recruitment solution to a range of key clients, including a number of household names.
The corporate division has teams embedded on client sites, working with them to manage their recruitment process within the delivery teams and sourcing candidates to work within Carbon60’s corporate clients.
The company’s on-site professionals work strategically with clients, forecasting, planning and implementing recruitment campaigns to attract the best talent in the market.
Steve said they are brand ambassadors for Carbon60’s clients, as well as Carbon60, and have recruitment process outsourcing/managed service experience, excellent relationship-building skills and the ability to manage, develop and grow accounts through excellent service and achievement of set service-level agreements.
Carbon60’s outsourcing solution focuses on the completion of projects to a high standard, on time and within budget.
The company works with major players within the engineering and aerospace sector; a number of the outsourcing team are ex-engineers from within the industries. Services are successfully being delivered within the aerospace and engineering sectors.
Steve said: “We see our clients, candidates and staff as invaluable contributors to our collective success – rather than people pursuing separate interests.”
