AN energy services firm has relocated to the Fylde coast to build on its continuing growth.

Inteb Sustainability has taken serviced space at Jubilee House in Lytham, becoming the first business to take advantage of the new facilities at the building which is owned by accountancy firm Danbro.

Inteb Sustainability chief executive Philip Hargreaves said: “This is an exciting time for the company and the move to new headquarters in Lytham gives us the ideal platform from which to grow our impartial and game changing services to the real estate sector.

“We enjoyed a highly successful period at the Rural Business Centre (at Myerscough) but the time was right to move into bigger offices where we can keep the team together on one floor and have room for expansion. Jubilee House is a perfect fit.”
