A growing recruitment specialist is planning to double in size after moving into new offices in Newcastle.

Launched in 2023, Marconi Associates specialises in partnering with companies in the robotics and automation sectors, devising tailored hiring and retention strategies. Together with a team of five employees, founder Connor Farley has grown from zero revenue to over £1m in less than two years, and is now targeting stronger growth after relocating to the Cubo offices at Bank House as their base for long term expansion.

Marconi Associates is set to boost turnover by 100% this financial year, growth which is also set to trigger the creation of four new jobs this year. Cubo opened its 20,000 sqft workspace across the top two floors of Bank House in November 2023.

Cubo's offices have a 360 degree panoramic view of the city’s skyline, with large communal spaces, private areas, break-out spaces, meeting rooms and kitchens, a barista service with free beer and fizz on tap, along with a programme of free networking events.

Members at Cubo Newcastle also have shower facilities with lockers, drying rooms and towel stations, bike storage and electric bike charging points – and they also have access to Cubo’s 13 sites across the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.

Mr Farley, founder and managing director of Marconi Associates, said: “Bank House is the most high-profile office building in Newcastle and our move here marks an exciting milestone for the company. With our team in the office five days a week, we wanted to provide them with a first-class workspace and a dynamic, sociable environment.

“Cubo offers everything a young, growing business needs. The state-of-the-art facilities and vibrant community at Bank House provide the perfect platform for us to accelerate growth, with plans to double our turnover to £1m and expand our team by up to four new members by the end of the year.

"We’ve already experienced the fantastic Cubo space in Soho and look forward to making use of Cubo Edinburgh in the coming months.”
