One of the North East’s fastest growing companies has moved to a new headquarters as it aims to continue its expansion.
Utilities provider Everflow has moved from its former base at Wynyard to a purpose-built facility in Peterlee, County Durham. The company – which was named the third fastest growing company in Europe in an FT study in 2021 – said the move would bring all of its North East offices under one roof and help it continue its growth in a “people-centric, environmentally conscious space”.
Everflow said the new offices showed its commitment to sustainability, operating entirely on electrical heating and having an A rating for energy efficiency. The company is planning to install EV charging points, solar PV charging and rainwater harvesting, and is also considering a wind turbine.

It said the move was driven by its rapid expansion, with the 29,000 sqft of space being three times the size of its previous base. The company also hopes that its new location in County Durham will give it access to a larger talent pool as it seeks to grow its customer support, sales, marketing and technical teams.
Everflow CEO Josh Gill said: “The move was driven by our desire to create a great place to work. The new space is set up to be sociable while allowing for growth and positively impacting our operations and customer service. We are thrilled to consolidate our North East offices, align with our sustainability goals, and establish a dynamic work culture that promotes collaboration and innovation.”
Everflow was set up by Mr Gill in 2015 with the mission of making utilities simple. In its last published accounts it recorded revenues of £79.3m – up from £57.4m a year earlier – and had a headcount of 75. The company has signed a 10-year lease on its new premises with North East Commercial.
Andy Rothwell, from North East Commercial, said: “It has been great to work with the Everflow team, the end result has created a really vibrant workspace that’s not only functional for Everflow but at the highest standards of green credentials achieving an A rating EPC upon completion of the extensive refurbishment and fit out works.”
