Faststream, established 11 years ago by its Chief
Executive, Mark Charman, has relocated its headquarters to
waterfront premises at 30 Channel Way, Ocean Village
Southampton.
Mr Charman said:

"The
refurbishment by ODT Business Interiors is superb,
transforming a relatively gloomy space into a bright,
clean and attractive working environment which reflects
our values-led corporate identity.
The new and improved headquarters, which we have just
moved into, offers the business a solid base to grow
into the future and expand on our current
workforce of 65 specialist global consultants".

Faststream provides maritime, oil and gas and built environment
recruitment from offices in the UK, Singapore, USA and Norway
and is widely regarded as the shipping market’s leading
recruiter for technical and commercial placements. Roles include
chartering managers, shipbrokers, claims executives, analysts,
chief engineers, pipeline engineers, naval architects and gas
traders.
Andrew Saunders, Sales Director, ODT Business Interiors, said: “This
was an excellent contract, awarded by a highly professional
company that wanted an inspirational and productive workspace to
better reflect its corporate feel".
Having previously completed two projects at the same location, one for
international commercial property consultants CBRE,
and the other for global accountancy group PricewaterhouseCoopers,
the three projects represent a hat-trick worth almost £450,000 for ODT
Business Interiors.
When asked for his view on the local economy, Andrew added: “Speaking generally, the office refit
market in the Solent region is beginning to emerge from recession after the taps were turned off
by the credit crunch 18 months ago. Office upgrades can be seen as a bellwether of the
local economy, a visible statement of confidence in the future, so the fact that we’re busy is a
good sign that things are starting to improve out there.”
