Success Stories
ISV
"ISV Software provide skills testing and training for recruitment, pre-employment screening and to benchmark the existing workforce. We have been tenants in Wessex House for many years, taking more or less space as our team has grown and changed.
Our team of developers have been based in Eastleigh for more than 10 years whilst the administrative function was on the other side of Southampton. In 2015 we brought the teams together and took more space in Wessex House. This brought many benefits for the business, not just improving our team culture.
The facilities at Wessex House are excellent and being in the town centre is useful for everyone. We make regular use of the meeting rooms and the café area plus the accessibility of the office has helped our recruitment process. The transport links are ideal, both for travelling locally and when going to client meetings. Many of our recruitment and HR clients are in London, Manchester and beyond, we’re even well placed to travel internationally with the airport just a few minutes away."
Clarity
"We have been situated in Wessex House over 10 years, during which time we have seen a lot of business changes as we have undergone re-brands, mergers and substantial growth. Despite all this change, the two things that have stayed constants have been the concern for the welfare of our business and the other businesses around us, and the professionalism of the teams.
As a busy travel management company, any disruption to day to day service has a huge impact on our clients and our business as a whole. During our office move Chantel, Ian and their respective teams could not have done more to make the transition any smoother. The revamp of the layout and decorating was all done efficiently and to our specifications without issue, meaning not only did we have a great new office environment but minimised downtime and business disruption.
Clarity have 13 offices throughout the UK and Europe, so while some of the networking events advertised within Wessex House are targeted for smaller companies there have been several we have attended which have led to some beneficial contacts we otherwise not have been aware of. It is this willingness to promote the businesses located here that gives Wessex House it’s unique community feel and makes it such a pleasure to have an office here."
John Roberts
"Being based in Wessex House, Eastleigh, a fully serviced office building, is ideal for our business and our staff too. Communications are excellent with the M3 and M27 nearby and the railway station within a few minutes walk. Eastleigh town also offers an extensive range of facilities and shops too.
John William Roberts Limited (financial planning), an appointed representative of Openwork, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, was established in 1996 and we have grown steadily, maintaining our commitment to providing exceptional service to the people we serve. Indeed we have been providing continuous advice to some of our clients for over 20 years. We build long standing relationships with our clients and appreciate the importance of each clients’ individual challenges and aspirations."
Vision Architects
"I started the business in the depths of the recession and over the last eight years have steadily increased the size and quality of the new build, refurbishment, and Listed Building work. In 2018 we were finalists in South Coast Property Aware for the Best Small Development and the Best Regeneration Project. We won the Best Regeneration Project for the refurbishment of St Thomas Church in Winchester into nine luxury apartments. We were then identified as ‘ones to watch in 2019’ by Build Magazine.
Predictable office costs has been an important part of the decision to remain at Wessex House. The rent is all inclusive (except for telephones, internet and parking) allowing us to accurately plot three, six and twelve month cash flow projections.
We continue to work from Wessex house as it:
- has easy access to the M3 and M27 motorways
- has easy access for employees, as Eastleigh has easy access to the public transport infrastructure
- has on-site parking for clients
- offers the opportunity to increase the size of the office as the business grows
- has meeting rooms included as part of the tenancy.
Personally, I like the social aspects of having an office at Wessex House, with a variety of other businesses operating from the building and the easy accessibility to Portsmouth, Poole and Basingstoke.Being a part of Wessex House has allowed us to increase our Network by building valuable relationships, this is often overlooked but is key to all businesses."
