A FAST-GROWING technology solutions provider is bolstering its presence in Scotland by opening a base in Edinburgh.

The Onyx Group, based in the North-East, has established an office and workplace recovery centre to accommodate up to 250 people in the event of businesses needing to relocate due to a disaster.

It will build on Onyx’s existing infrastructure by linking to its workplace recovery centre and data centre in Glasgow and will become the staff base for the group’s Dalkeith and Falkirk offices.

Neil Stephenson, chief executive of Onyx Group, said: “There’s a growing demand for workplace recovery facilities in Edinburgh.

“This centre will enhance the services that we are able to offer to our significant customer base in Scotland.”

Onyx, which is based in Teesside and has three bases in the North-East, has seen sustained growth over the past two years, with turnover quadrupling from £3m to £12m.
