More space for SSTL as move is completed
Big News this week, SSTL has completed the move to their new UK HQ at Tycho House in the Surrey Research Park. “Having everything under one roof is going to be great for the business as prior to move we were spread across four different buildings” said Wei Sun Group Director of Corporate Business and Marketing.
“With manufacturing research, communication and administration being bought together we all feel very confident at maintaining our tremendous growth rate which is currently running at 30% per annum”. And on that point SSTL heard this week that they have once more been listed as one of the Surrey MegaGrowth 50 companies – another award for the cabinet!
Anyway, back to the move. Tycho House is just 2 miles away from the old buildings in the University of Surrey’s campus. The purposely built new building is located in the northwest corner of the Surrey Research Park and has plenty of room for further expansion. After discussion the company opted for an open plan working environment in order to increase the communication inside the company to support the essential need for fast growth. The staff has given the new offices a “big thumbs up” and all are very pleased with the new working environment. So now everything is focused once more on meeting and exceeding customer’s expectations by providing the best service possible.
So why call the new building Tycho House? Well, Tycho Brathe made enormous contribution to astronomy and revolutionised astronomical instrumentation and so SSTL thought that his work reflected closely that of the company. “We hope that we will be able to live up with his innovation and imagination and continuously push the boundaries of "Changing the Economies of Space" said SSTL’s MD Prof. Sir Martin Sweeting.
