A global satellite communications firm has moved to new headquarters in Poole, Dorset. Global Telesat Communications – a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed NextPlat Corp – has taken 2,470 sq ft on the ground floor of Waterloo House at Fleets Corner Business Park.
Global Telesat Communications is a UK-based reseller of advanced satellite communications hardware, software and services, with more than 60,000 customers in 165 countries.
Its new offices were recently refurbished by owner Federated Hermes. The business park also has a Starbucks and a Travelodge hotel.
James Phipps, business development manager, Global Telesat Communications, said: “The relocation and upsize of our headquarters marks the next stage of growth for Global Telesat Communications. We required a location that combined quality with accessibility and breadth of amenities for staff, and nowhere else could match what is provided at Fleets Corner.”
Global Telesat Communications is the latest company to take space Fleets Corner, joining Poole-based cosmetics company Lush, which last year invested £2.3m to grow the capabilities of its Green Hub, expanding its footprint at the park to over 275,000 sq ft. Other companies to have based headquarters within the business park are Poole-based recruitment firm TeamJobs and local engineering firm Calcinotto.
Stephen Bradley, director of investment management at Federated Hermes, added: “Benefitting from its strong road links to the M27 and M3 motorways, Fleets Corner Business Park is strategically located with access across the South and South Coast international ports and airports.
“Setting the benchmark in the region for accessibility, quality of space, and range of amenities, the commitment of a leading global business such as Global Telesat Communications to Fleets Corner is a testament to this, and we are pleased to welcome them to the community.”
Galena Real Estate, JLL, Goadsby and CBRE acted for Federated Hermes on the deal. Trethowans represented Global Telesat Communications.
