PATRON FOCUS Protos Networks expands into new office: A milestone in our growth journey

We are thrilled to announce that Protos Networks has officially moved into our new office space, marking a significant milestone in our growth journey. After weeks of anticipation, hampered by construction delays and late deliveries, we are now comfortably settled into our spacious new office. This move represents much more than a change of scenery; This reflects our quick growth and our strong dedication to offering excellent services to our clients!

From Poplar House to Our New Home Five years ago, Protos Networks took a significant step forward when we moved into our office at Poplar House. At the time, the 1,400-square-foot space felt like a massive leap from where we started. Poplar House quickly became the hub of our operations, where we laid the foundations for what Protos Networks is today. Within those walls, we grew our team, expanded our service offerings, and built lasting relationships with our clients. The space served us well, but as our ambitions and team grew, it became clear that we needed a larger environment to continue our journey. Our new office still located at Poplar House, is 3,400 square feet and more than double the size of our previous space. This move not only provides us with the room we need to expand but also symbolises the evolution of our company. The new space is designed to accommodate up to 50 staff members, giving us the capacity to scale our operations and meet the increasing demands of our clients. Moving to a bigger office acknowledges our team’s hard work and dedication, positioning us perfectly for the next growth phase.

A Space Designed for Innovation and Collaboration

The new office isn’t just bigger; it’s been meticulously designed to nurture innovation, collaboration, and productivity. We partnered with the talented team at Stride Studio in Chester to create a space that truly reflects the ethos and energy of Protos Networks. From the moment you walk through the door, it’s clear that every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The bespoke wooden door handles offer a welcoming touch, while the rich, dark blue accents in our Network and Security Operations Centre (NSOC) create a focused and professional atmosphere.

One of the standout features of the new office is the dedicated NSOC. This state-of-the-art facility is the nerve centre of our operations, where our team of experts monitors and manages the security and performance of our client’s networks. The NSOC is equipped with the latest technology and is designed to enhance our ability to deliver realtime, proactive support to our clients. The space is not just functional; it’s also designed to inspire. The dark blue walls, combined with modern furnishings, create a calming and energising environment—a perfect blend for the high-stakes work there.

A Space for Every Need

In addition to the NSOC, the new office features multiple meeting rooms, each equipped with the latest technology to facilitate seamless communication with clients and partners, whether across town or the globe. These rooms are perfect for brainstorming sessions, strategy meetings, and client presentations.

We’ve also designed the office to ensure our team has everything they need to thrive. The open-plan workspaces encourage collaboration and communication, while private offices offer a quiet space for focused work. A well-equipped kitchen provides a place for the team to refuel, and the games area offers a much-needed space for relaxation and fun—a crucial part of maintaining the work-life balance that we highly value at Protos Networks.

Capturing the Essence of Our New Space

To celebrate the move, we recently hired the talented photographer Kat Hannon to capture the essence of our new office. Her stunning photographs truly showcase the thought and care that has gone into creating this space. The images highlight the unique design elements, from the bespoke wooden door handles to the vibrant wall vinyl around the office. These touches not only make the office a more enjoyable workplace but also distinctly reinforce our brand identity.

Looking Ahead: A Space for Growth

We’re excited about the future as we settle into our new office. This move is more than just an expansion of physical space; it’s an expansion of our capabilities, team, and vision for the future. With room to grow, we are poised to take on new challenges and opportunities, and we look forward to welcoming more talented professionals to the Protos Networks team.

In the coming weeks, once the final pieces of furniture arrive and we’ve added the finishing touches to the space, we plan to host an open house. We’ll invite our customers, partners, friends, and other guests to join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter for Protos Networks. It’s an opportunity to not only show off our new office but also thank everyone who has supported us on this journey.

“As we continue to grow, our commitment to delivering exceptional service remains unchanged. Our new office reflects our past achievements and is a stepping stone to future success. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds and to share it with all of you.”
