The 50,000 sq ft office building was originally built as a bespoke contact centre for SSE providing very large floor plates on a self-contained site. The building benefits from a good amenity offer and sustainability provisions, including EPC B and extensive roof P.V.’s. The tenant, Creditsafe Business Solutions Ltd have leased the whole building for a new 15 year lease from Landlord, SSE Services Plc.
JLL acted for the landlord with Burston Cook representing the tenant.

Ty Meridian was previously occupied by SSE for their own business operation and subsequently Ovo Energy when they acquired SSE’s retail business in 2019. Creditsafe currently employ 300 staff in their Caerphilly office who will be relocating to Ty Meridian.
Chris Robertson, CEO for Creditsafe UK and Ireland, said: We carefully considered our relocation options and are very excited to be moving to Ty Meridian over the coming months. The large floor plates provide us with complete flexibility and being located at Junction 30 of the M4 motorway will enable us to be very accessible to our staff.
Rhydian Morris, Director of JLL’s Cardiff office, SSE’s advisor, said: Ty Meridian provided the largest available out of town floor plates, which was a key requirement for Creditsafe Business Solutions Ltd and I look forward to seeing their completed fit-out. This is the largest Cardiff out of town office letting for several years and a welcome boost to Q1 take-up.
Tom Gibbons, Director of Burston Cook, Creditsafe’s advisor, commented: “We had a specific client brief to secure a suitable office building that would support my client’s growth strategy as well as providing self-containment. Ty Meridian is a great choice for my client, especially the strategic location at Junction 30 of the M4.”
