North East regeneration specialist RE:GEN Group has opened new headquarters after appointing 33 staff from collapsed construction company Tolent.
The company, which supports social housing clients by retrofitting and modernising their homes, has purchased its new base at Sunderland’s Doxford Park which has 8,942 sqft of modern office space over two floors. The office move places the business closer to key clients – and also accommodates the appointment of 33 new staff who were made redundant from Tolent last week, following the appointment of administrators.
When news of the Gateshead firm’s failure broke, bosses at RE:GEN Group said they quickly reacted to create the new roles and ensure those who were made redundant could secure employment. Nine new roles have been recruited into RE:GEN Group while 24 roles have been safeguarded with the creation of RE:GEN Solutions, a new solution-based subsidiary delivering an asbestos abatement and management service to the firms social housing clients.
