5 8 FUSION HIVE WELCOME I am sincerely grateful to The Forge at Teesside University for their support in enabling my business to move to Fusion Hive in only a matter of weeks from my first registering an interest. We have been fortunate enough to move to some of the best offices I have ever been in, the building is amazing and our productivity has increased already! Many thanks. ROSS COULMAN Managing Director, IAMTech Our fantastic new office at the newly built, state-of-the-art, Fusion Hive will help us grow the business even further, as well as having the added bonus of the stunning views across the River Tees. One of the main reasons for the move is to be in a location that facilitates growth and our former office was simply not big enough to accommodate our vision. It s also great to be surrounded by like-minded businesses and being based at the Hive gives us direct access to potential sources of business so we thought why would we not move?

7 12 FUSION HIVE WELCOME skignz has already come a long way in the last two years with the development of our technology platform. We are looking to increase our progress further with the move to Fusion Hive. skignz is a very visual product and the move to Fusion Hive, a visually impressive building, will only benefit our company, giving us the ideal platform to grow our organisation. Fusion Hive will bring together some of the brightest tech talent in the region, and collaboratively working together will give us all the best potential for growth. SIMON BROWN Director, skignz We have ambitious plans for expansion which do partly depend on the availability of high speed broadband access. Fusion Hive offers us not only this, but also the opportunity to work with other digital-based technology companies in a great environment. The bright open plan offices are just what we re after, whilst the technical back-up from Teesside University is also something we can take advantage of.
