Flexible office provider Orega has enjoyed a whirlwind of activity at its serviced offices in Manchester at Three Piccadilly Place, leading to the conclusion of three new deals and paving the way for a second phase.

Orega will shortly commence work on an additional 4,500 sq ft of serviced offices on the ground floor of the 11-storey building for completion early next year. These will adjoin Orega’s meeting and conference room suite at this level and will complement the 12,000 sq ft of serviced offices on the 11th floor that comprise the business centre’s fully occupied first phase.

The three new clients - Harris Interactive, Bytes Technology Group and Timothy James Consulting -have between them taken a total of 53 workstations.

Recruitment consultant Timothy James Consulting has chosen Orega’s business centre for its new Manchester base to complement its offices in Bristol and London. It opened a 20-workstation office in Three Piccadilly Place last month to service a huge uplift in requirements in the northern region for senior appointments in the financial services, retail e-commerce, media & publishing and public sector markets.

Harris Interactive, the internationally renowned market research agency, is relocating from office space in Stockport to take occupation of 25 workstations in mid-December. The US company also has offices in London and New York, as well as France, Germany, Canada and elsewhere in the US.

Bytes Software Services has signed for eight workstations and will move from Peter House in central Manchester in early December. Part of the South African Allied Electronics Corporation (Altron), it operates from eight locations across the UK and offices in Ireland. It specialises in software licensing and is Microsoft’s largest reseller in the UK.

Three Piccadilly Place, owned by The Carlyle Group, sits directly opposite the entrance to Manchester Piccadilly railway station, putting Manchester Airport a 15-minute train ride away. The building has a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating, making it highly energy efficient, and is part of the mixed-use Piccadilly Place complex offering a range of on-site facilities.
