Space ID in North East BIC expansion

Sunderland-based interior design and architectural company Space ID has moved to the North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC).

Founded in 2008, the firm provides design services across the UK for the hotel, bar and restaurant sectors.

Run by three director, Mike Simmons, Marc Hardy and Phill Young, the team covers all areas of design from initial concepts, 3D visuals, site surveys and local authority applications through to full design packages and on site design management to realise their client’s projects and aspirations.

Phill Young said: “The market has greatly improved within the construction sector and we have taken this upturn as an opportunity to expand.

“We have a range of new projects in various stages of design and construction at present situated around the UK and are taking briefings on future works.

“Having recently recruited two interior designers and with plans for a possible further two members of staff in the future, the extra space was not only needed to accommodate the expanding team but will also help us to maintain our links with Local Universities.

“We teamed up with the University student placement scheme which allows the next generation of design talent to gain hands on experience within a design company. In fact, one of our newest team members originally came to us on a placement from Teesside University.”

Donna Surtees, centre manager at the BIC, added: “Here at the BIC we pride ourselves on nurturing business success whatever the sector or size here in the North East.

“We are delighted to provide a dynamic and supportive environment to accommodate the growth of Space ID. I wish them the very best in their new office and with their plans for further expansion.”
