Easy Computing A Step Closer
A Newcastle company that is set to transform PC use has keyed into support from Tyne and Wear Development as it gets ready for growth.
Broadband Computer Company has patented a landmark easy-to-operate system for use in homes and offices.
Following trials of the product, the company has invested in new premises in St James’ Boulevard in Newcastle with support from Tyne and Wear Development Company as it looks to refine the system for market.
Andy Hudson, chief operations officer at Broadband Computer Company, said: “We are creating a computer experience that is hassle free for people who have never used computers. It’s also for people who want quick, safe, secure access – and research has shown there are many million such potential users in the UK. The aim is to make a computer as easy to use as the kettle, the TV or the fridge.
“We needed a base in Newcastle that was central and had good access to transport links for clients visiting from London. Tyne and Wear Development Company was able to find a property that met all of these criteria and has space for growth.
“Their support was critical and a key reason why we’re based here. They helped us plan the move and put us in touch with the excellent network of business support services based in the region.”
Deborah Fletcher, information officer at Tyne and Wear Development Company, said: “This is an innovative product that has growth potential. The new facilities offer the company space for expansion. It’s encouraging to see new knowledge-based companies like this emerging across Tyne and Wear.”
