SCS eye growth from new Boldon base

A firm of North East IT specialists are looking to grow from their new Boldon base and create new regional jobs.

Specialist Computer Systems (SCS) have moved to their new South Tyneside base on Boldon Business Park, the Council-owned estate.

The new office will complement other regional bases in Manchester, Wolverhampton and Glasgow that employ over 50 staff in total.

Richard Holland, service director at SCS said the firm has plans to grow its services and team in the North East, and are keen to work with local recruits, suppliers and partners.

He added: “We looked at various locations in the area, but were most impressed with the facilities provided by South Tyneside. Our new office is perfectly situated for many of our client sites, is easily accessible and very cost effective.

“We have settled into Boldon easily with a lot of help from the team at South Tyneside Council. The move into the office was seamless. SCS aims to grow the business in the North East and we are currently bringing in additional staff. The business operates in various parts of the UK and wherever possible we try to recruit locally, use local suppliers and partners.”

Earlier this year, SCS were awarded the contract to provide ICT support to a number of secondary schools and academies in the South Tyneside and Gateshead region.
