North Tyneside alarm company Verisure is creating an additional 120 jobs after expanding into its new base at Quorum Park.
The company, Europe’s largest alarm provider, has invested £3.5m into its move from the Neon Building to nearby Q12, which provides three times the space as its previous office and will eventually house 1,200 employees across three floors. Almost three years after its arrival in Newcastle, the firm’s centre of excellence has expanded twice as fast as expected in terms of headcount, to keep up with the sales growth, which has seen the firm reach 100,000 customers in the UK in March 2022 and a portfolio increase of nearly 50% in the last 12 months.
Verisure has created 650 jobs since its opening and is seeking 120 new staff before the new year. Headcount is anticipated to approach 1,200 in the next three years, ahead of the firm’s initial forecast of 1,000 jobs after 10 years. The first two floors at Q12 consist of modern working spaces, while the third floor will have a canteen and break out areas.
