ARO expands Scottish presence with new Aberdeenshire office
Surrey-based IT services and solutions firm ARO has agreed to lease office space at Kingshill Park in Westhill, Aberdeenshire, from Knight Property Group.
The firm has signed a 5-year lease on a 2,670 sq ft ground floor office suite at Pavilion 11 on the park. It has moved from a previous base in Queens Road in Aberdeen’s west end and is set to grow operations at the new office.
ARO has maintained a presence in Aberdeen since 2012 and now employs 17 people in the city with plans to grow the team to support its expanding operations and recent contract wins.
Wayne Mackay, regional customer director at ARO, said: “This new base aligns perfectly with our company culture. We provide clients with sustainable competitive advantages by delivering world-class technologies with first-class service.
“This office offers high-visibility, quality workspace in a prime location, providing us with the ideal environment for growth.”
Dan Mitchell, management surveyor at Knight Property Group, added: “Kingshill Park has consistently been in high demand, and we are delighted to have concluded this deal with ARO, which now sees Pavilion 11 fully let. Westhill is an ideal location for businesses, with its proximity to the AWPR offering easy access to the city centre and airport.”
ARO operates from 10 locations across the UK, employing 440 staff and serving 8,000 customers. The company manages over 100,000 mobile devices, 60,000 seats of hosted telecoms connectivity, and protects more than 600,000 end-users with its comprehensive cyber security solutions.
Kingshill Park, developed to the highest specification, offers a premium business environment with landscaped surroundings and ample car parking facilities. Each pavilion is designed to meet the needs of modern enterprises, offering superior office space.
