NEWCASTLE

it’s better...Welcome to the better place to work. Better because

your company will be moving to one of the UK’s most

successful business locations. Better because you

will be locating right next to the local, national and

international companies who have already made

Quorum their home. And better because your business

will be in the very centre of one of the North’s major

talent pools with over 1 million people living within 30

minutes drive time. Your team will think Quorum is

better too. That’s because they will be able to spend

lunchtimes at the unique free to use sports club, relax

in 15 acres of breakout spaces or socialise at one of the

800 on site events our dedicated Hub team organise

every year. When not at work, they can enjoy the

thriving city and the stunning beauty of the

surrounding Northumberland countryside and coastline.

Move to Quorum Newcastle. It’s just better.
