Stockton telecoms firm expands with new office

Stockton telecoms firm Odyssey Systems has created room for growth with the purchase of a new office and the refurbishment of its existing premises.

The company, which provides telecommunications and connectivity for businesses, has acquired a 12,000 sq ft building on Lockheed Court in Preston Farm. The new property houses its 30-strong team on the first floor, and provides office space to rent for small businesses on the ground floor.

Odyssey aims to create four new jobs in the next three years.

The firm has also re-developed its existing 8,000 sq ft premises and is now letting it out to two SMEs.

Odyssey’s employees have transferred into the new base following an extensive refurbishment and fit-out. The work to the new office included creating a dedicated video conferencing suite, technology demonstration area and data centre facility.

They have installed upgraded connectivity masts, which will increase the reach of its long-range microwave high speed leased line signals that can extend to a range of 30km, as well as hosted telephony and a fully-synchronous Ethernet connection.

The Member of Parliament for Stockton South, James Wharton, has officially opened the new headquarters.

Mike Odysseas, managing director of Odyssey Systems, said: “The move represents a significant milestone in our history, which will build on our successful operating model that allows us to support the growth of other companies.

“We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional customer service, and with the additional technology and space at our disposal, we can maintain and even improve our provision.”

James Wharton MP said: “It’s always nice to visit businesses in Stockton and I would like to thank Mike for welcoming me to such a momentous occasion in Odyssey Systems’ history. This is another example of a thriving enterprise in the region benefiting from continued investment, which is boosting our local economy through the creation of jobs. “I would like to wish all the Odyssey team the very best for the future.”
