Centrica Storage, a subsidiary of Centrica, the parent company of British Gas, has consolidated its operational teams by leasing a hi-tech office at the fast-growing Bridgehead business park close to the Humber Bridge.

Centrica Storage has moved its operational support base to Bridgehead having outgrown its former offices in Hedon, East Yorkshire.

The 20,000 sq ft, two-storey building provides accommodation for up to 200 people and was designed in-house and developed by Wykeland, to Centrica Storage’s specifications.

Centrica Storage operates the Rough reservoir under the seabed in the southern North Sea. The company also operates two offshore platforms and a major gas processing terminal at Easington on the East Yorkshire coast.

Centrica Storage managing director Greg McKenna said: “We now have offices in keeping with a division of a FTSE 100 company.

“This move has enabled us to bring all our teams into one place in a vibrant, highly-professional, collaborative environment surrounded by other successful companies.

“We have the perfect base for our business now and into the future, as well as an environment that supports a healthy, motivated and productive workforce.”

Dominic Gibbons, managing director of Wykeland, said: “We’re pleased a business of the size and standing of Centrica Storage has chosen Bridgehead as the perfect location to consolidate its teams.

“The presence of Centrica Storage adds another blue chip brand and further value to the commercial community at Bridgehead.”

Centrica Storage joins businesses including Beal Homes; bathroom retailer Victoria Plum; the John Good Group of companies; laser firm Rofin-Sinar; office technology company IT@Spectrum; IT services and telecoms company The One Point; and design-to-print graphic services company SGS International.

The latest addition to Bridgehead is the £3.9m Ergo centre which is being developed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in conjunction with Wykeland and is due to open in early 2018.

Ergo will be operated in a partnership between the council and the University of Hull and will provide accommodation for companies in the growing renewable energy and environmental technology sectors.

Planning applications will be submitted in the New Year for further buildings at Bridgehead.
