Newhaven Business Centre – the perfect base for established and growing businesses

Many businesses are opting for more flexible space as we come out of lockdown - and Newhaven Business Centre offers an advantageous harbour-side location, with the office space boasting high end business facilities to really help all of its tenants thrive.

For one of our tenants, a supplier of medical consumables and equipment that was established in 1988, the pandemic brought about massive change to demand for their business. Before relocating to the Centre, the business had been running out of a residential property – but this had been tight and there was no room to grow. Due to the nature of the business combined with the COVID19 pandemic, the business needed to stock more lines and have the space to increase volumes of their supply as well as have more flexibility with suppliers and ordering, and Newhaven Enterprise Centre was a great option - meeting all of the tenants business needs for access, security and workspace flexibility.

Although this tenant had only relocated to the Centre 6 months ago, he only had positive things to say about the process. “The transition period was totally hassle free.  There were concerns as I had been in the same place for 33 years, but I was able to port my number and the internet was set-up immediately.  Communication throughout my move was fantastic and the organization of the team was great.”

““The transition period was totally hassle free””

When asked about what he thought were the biggest benefits of being at the Centre, he thought that the state of the art meeting rooms and facilities were one of the biggest attractions for his company when they’d been on the lookout for new operating space. He reflected on how being based at the Centre means that he can get back to doing the things he loves most about his role, which was meeting clients – and the Centre gives the perfect space to do that.   “We’re more ready to welcome in clients and allocate time for meetings – it’s not the same contact when it’s just via the phone”.

A big draw for tenants to the Newhaven Enterprise Centre is the modern appearance of the building and the flexible sizes of the units for rent, which many use to double up for storage space for stock and anything else they need to operate. Being a medical supplier, this tenant felt that the security around the centre was crucial and a big draw for their business – “My unit and the Centre is secure with CCTV inside and out of the building.  Gates are locked overnight and at weekends and doors to the building are electronically managed, plus the staff at the Centre can take deliveries for me if I’m not available.”

Security and the professional look of the Centre is an important aspect to all tenants - having a professional and appropriate environment to network with and meet clients, alomg with access to full equipped meeting rooms. The social aspect of being located at Newhaven Enterprise Centre is a great perk too, taking away the loneliness of operating from a smaller premises. Although current social distancing restrictions have meant that networking opportunities and the chance to get to know one another have been limited, the medical supplier commented that regardless of this, “I’m really settling in and feel like I have been here forever.”
