A PARAPLANNING company has more than doubled office space at a business hub to meet rising demand and cater for an increased team.

Para-Sols now has 2,500sq ft of room in the Beehive building at Lingfield Point, Darlington.

Bosses say they will need the space to accommodate three new graduates and extra staff, who are expected to join later this year.

The expansion comes after the business previously increased its presence to 1,000sq ft, whereupon officials said further expansion was on the cards.

Para-Sols has been housed at Lingfield Point since 2012, having grown from a start-up in Lingfield House.

Cathi Harrison, founder, said: “The company is going through a period of dramatic growth and we’re all very ambitious for the future.”

Eddie Humphries, Lingfield Point estate manager, added: “It’s very inspiring to see a home-grown firm go from strength-to-strength.”
