Sunderland Software City

Bond MD Derek Curtis visits the Jupiter Centre with North East BIC Chief Executive Paul McEldon

Sunderland’s new state-of-the-art centre of software excellence has downloaded its first tenant

The Jupiter Centre at the North East Business and Innovation Centre has been crafted to nurture software companies as part of the Sunderland Software City initiative,

The centre’s first tenant, Bond Solutions, specialises in technology based finance, as well as solutions and support services for SMEs, and is currently ranked second in the UK in the Sage Circle of Excellence.

Managing director Derek Curtis was immediately drawn to the Jupiter Centre as a base to further grow Bond alongside their existing offices in Manchester.

Derek said: "It is important to me that Bond Solutions’ home is in line with the overall aims and directions of the business: we are ambitious and forward-thinking, and always aim to leave an impression. The outline that the Jupiter Centre already carves on the River Wear matches this perfectly.

“It’s something not just for the present, but beyond this and into the future."

The Jupiter Centre aims to be the ultimate location for software companies to locate and grow, with a choice of thirteen offices ranging in size from 32- 121 square metres, all constructed to the highest technical specification.

There are also two meeting areas, complete with free WiFi and refreshment areas, available for more relaxed, informal meetings.  Ample free car parking and easy access to the A19 makes the Jupiter Centre the ideal combination of enviable offices in an ideal location.

Bernie Callaghan, chief executive officer of Sunderland Software City, said: “A huge part of Sunderland Software City’s work is persuading leading software companies to make our region their home.  World class, cutting-edge accommodation is a huge attraction to businesses of all sizes and that’s exactly what the Jupiter Centre offers.

“Bond Solutions are well known to us, and we’re delighted that they want to be part of the Jupiter Centre.”
