Wealth management group Fairstone says it hopes to grow staff numbers significantly at a new headquarters in Nike's former Sunderland offices.
The Doxford International Business Park site will host the growing group which operates back office and support functions to its UK-wide network of financial advice subsidiaries. Fit out work is under way on the 25,000 sqft, two storey building that will house workspaces, a "business lounge", a restaurant, private meeting pods, a media studio and an amphitheatre to host events.
Fairstone said it intends to move in by September and has spoken about plans to boost its North East team by around 120.
