Sunderland-based property consultancy The North East Surveying Co has secured office space at the North East BIC to support its expansion.
Founded by chartered building surveyor Martin Watson, the business has achieved steady growth since its launch in 2023.
Having joined the BIC’s coworking space, Watson has taken steps to secure a riverside office space as the business expands its offering to its growing client base.
The North East Surveying Co is now offering property investment agency services, supporting landlords and investors in navigating a complex regulatory landscape.
Martin Watson, founder of The North East Surveying Co, said: “There are significant changes happening within the property investment market, and landlords are under more pressure than ever to be compliant. Our aim is to provide clear, professional advice that helps clients make confident decisions about their portfolios.”
Moving into a dedicated space at the BIC has enabled Watson to build a new infrastructure for scaling, develop professional content for clients, and plan for future growth, while remaining connected to its business community.
He added: “One of the main reasons I’ve always come to the BIC is the sense of community. When you work for yourself, it’s easy to feel isolated, but here you’re surrounded by other businesses who are growing and facing similar challenges.”
Doreen Howard, centre manager at the North East BIC, added: “Martin’s story is a great example of how businesses can grow at the BIC. By providing flexible space and a collaborative environment, we’re able to support ambitious entrepreneurs develop sustainable businesses that contribute to regional growth.”
