North-east firm Tekserv has celebrated the official opening of new premises in Peterhead.
The company, which provides IT support to other businesses, needed to relocate as a result of growing demand for its services.
Founded just three years ago by managing director Phil Rennie and employing only three people, turnover doubled to £171,958 last year and this is expected to grow to more than £300,000 in the coming 12 months.
The firm’s previous headquarters in Blackhouse Industrial Estate, Peterhead, amounted to just a couple of rooms.
Its new site in Broad Street in the centre of town gives it nearly 540sq ft.
The new HQ was officially opened by Gordon MP and former first minister Alex Salmond.
Mr Salmond said: “In an ever-increasing digital economy, it is important to have services you can rely on to ensure your IT equipment remains in full working order.
“As someone who has used Tekserv on a number of occasions, I can vouch for their ability to provide such a service.
“So, it was with great pleasure that I was able to open Tekserv’s new office and I wish Phil and the rest of the team all the very best for the future.”
Tekserv invested £50,000 in buying and renovating the property, which was previously occupied by Aberdeenshire Council.
Mr Rennie said: “To date, business growth has been predominantly organic.
“Our move into the town centre of Peterhead provides us with the ideal location to service our clients and increase brand exposure, which will complement our growth strategy and allow us to put our hard work into practice.”
