Sykes Cottages moves to larger offices
UK holiday rental firm Sykes Cottages is relocating its headquarters to Chester development One City Place.
Based in the region for over 25 years and starting off at a ‘kitchen table’, Sykes will start moving its 300 employees to the building from September.
It said the new offices, which are twice the size as its current ones in Lower Bridge Street, will play a key role in supporting its expansion.
CEO Graham Donoghue said: "Chester has been the heart and home of the business for almost three decades, so continuing our commitment to the region was important to us and our people.
"One City Place ticked all the boxes for a high-growth, technology led business like ours, giving us access to talent from across the region thanks to its excellent transport connectivity and a location that’s both tech enabled and sustainable.
"This is a major piece of our investment strategy and will help us deliver our commitment to being best choice for property owners, offering the best experience to customers and operating the best brand and platform in the market."
