NBS (part of Hubexo), the platform for connected construction information, has relocated its Newcastle headquarters to One Trinity Gardens, in a move that will save around 60 tonnes of carbon annually. The relocation embodies Hubexo’s vision to make the built world more sustainable, whilst helping employees work more efficiently by providing a modern space that supports collaboration.

The facility will house over 250 employees in Newcastle across Product & Technology, Technical Content & Technical Delivery, Corporate Services, Finance & IT, Sales, Marketing & Customer Service teams, supporting global operations spanning across the UK, Nordics, Australia, the US and Canada.

The move maintains NBS’s 50-year commitment to Newcastle, where the company has been based at the Grade II listed Old Post Office on St Nicholas Street since 2000. The move also strengthens Hubexo's ability to attract future talent in the North East, with a modern, flexible workspace reflecting the company’s ambitions.

NBS will source 100% renewable electricity for the new building, eliminating direct fossil-fuel emissions from heating entirely. Located on the Quayside with River Tyne views, the energy-efficient Trinity Gardens facility offers modern amenities, including an on-site boutique gym, as well as immediate access to riverside walks and outdoor spaces.

Jo Keit, President of UK and Ireland, Hubexo, said: “One of our core missions is to help the industry build sustainably, and our move to a greener, more energy-efficient Newcastle home will hopefully encourage others in the industry to make similar carbon-reducing commitments. Investing in our hubs is about investing in our people today, as well as the people we want to attract tomorrow. These spaces are designed to support connection, collaboration and the culture we're building together, and we’re delighted to see colleagues enjoying the new facility.”

Dr Lee Jones, Head of Sustainability, Hubexo, said: “After more than a quarter of a century at the historic Old Post Office, we’re making a move that aligns with our sustainability commitments. The building’s gas heating system produced approximately 80 tonnes of CO₂ annually, incompatible with our net-zero-by-2045 ambition. As a platform supporting the construction industry’s digital transformation and sustainability goals, we want to lead by example.”
