International recruitment firm makes move on Peterborough office

An international recruitment agency specialising in the food & beverage and FMCG sectors has acquired its first freehold office in Peterborough's Hampton district.

Within 7 days, our team marketed the property and agreed the sale, acting as the sole agent on behalf of the owner.

The Sterling Choice, which has operational bases in the UK, USA and UAE will relocate its new headquarters to 5 Office Village on Cygnet Park, Hampton, from a unit on Summit Park, also in Hampton, later this year.

According to Lukas Vanterpool, Director at The Sterling Choice, the purchase of its first freehold offices demonstrates a confidence in the Peterborough area as a good location from which to conduct international recruitment in the specialist food & FMCG sectors in which the agency specialises.

He explained, “We began 13 years ago in premises in Orton Southgate and have grown the business since then. We’ve been in the Hampton business district in our current premises for almost five years, and so, in line with the company’s expansion, our purchase of our own offices now at Office Village reinforces our investment and commitment to our staff in the city and our international roster of over 200 core clients.”

Announcing the completion of the sale of the 2,647 sq. ft. office building to The Sterling Choice, our Peterborough office's Gavin Hynes, who led the agency’s negotiations on behalf of the owner, commented, “Cygnet Park is one of the city’s prime out-of-town office areas.

“Obviously, all agents point to Peterborough’s proximity to the A1(M) and the city’s own Parkway road network as a key attraction for owner-occupiers when it comes to making freehold investments, but the accessibility of the Hampton district’s retail & leisure amenities from business park location is also something that recommends it as quality location for office occupiers.”

While the price paid for the office at 5 Office Village is not disclosed, Eddisons confirmed that the guide price on marketing was £425,000.
