How big is it?
The Stockton HQ redevelopment was completed in August, and saw an existing 4,000ft sq site transformed, creating three new spaces – all of which have been designed to foster innovation and collaboration.
The first comprises an auditorium in which Visualsoft hosts events and holds informal team catch-ups. The team also allows startups, university students and businesses to benefit from the space, enabling it to engage with the local digital community.
This sits alongside a new client “village” with a range of interactive meeting areas, where employees hold internal catch-ups on campaign activity – it has more than 1,000 clients nationwide – including Sik Silk, Pure Collection and Daniel Footwear.
Visualsoft’s growing R&D department is housed in the new wing of the office, with its recent expansion providing enough capacity to support the team’s growth plans and talent acquisition over the coming years.

Why is the workplace appropriate?
A unique workplace was appropriate for us as a business as we look to foster forward-thinking individuals. If we want to create work that is out of the ordinary, we need an office to match. The Stockton HQ represents our commitment to the future of Visualsoft, as well as our North East roots.
A comfortable and interesting environment also sets us apart and helps us attract some of the very best talent in the region and industry, who value the conditions they work in.

The open-plan space houses a 222-strong team, as well as offers flexible working space and capacity for another 50 workers, who visit regularly from the business’s Newcastle and Manchester offices.
The flagship HQ office also aims to future-proof Visualsoft’s recruitment strategy, which will help maintain the business’ position in the industry over the coming years.
