Solving mobile workforce problems

Southampton Science Park has welcomed Aareon UK to its new office suite at 5 Benham Campus. The move cements Aareon UK’s operational merger with Science Park success story 1^st Touch, established leader in the supply of mobile workforce software solutions for the UK’s social housing, property services and local government sectors. The merging of company operations at their new 5 Benham Campus base will enable the companies to complete their integration following Aareon Group’s acquisition of 1^st Touch in 2012.

Nigel Rees, Joint Managing Director, Aareon UK, commented: “This move is an important milestone in our company’s development. We have had a partnership with Southampton Science Park since 2008 during which time we have grown as an organisation. We see the 5, Benham Campus move as an opportunity to take our business to the next level, not only by creating a great working environment for our staff, but giving us space to welcome our customers and partners, enabling us to work with them in a more effective and agile way.”                 

Opened by the Rt. Hon Sir Vince Cable MP, 5 Benham Campus is the latest addition to the Science Park’s successful portfolio of accommodation for science and technology businesses. It is also home to Grant Thornton and Tekever Group.
