Founded in 2023 by Connor Farley, Marconi Associates has rapidly established itself as a trusted partner for companies seeking innovative hiring and retention strategies within the robotics and automation sectors. Since their inception they have grown from zero revenue to just over £1m in under two years and will be using Cubo as their base for long term expansion.

The company acts as a long-term strategic partner to start-ups and venture capital backed companies and delivers a broad range of talent, from Executive C-Suite placements through to Go-To-Market global projects.

The move to Bank House comes after a period of impressive growth for Marconi Associates, with a projected 100% increase in turnover for the current financial year. It also aligns with the company’s commitment to fostering collaboration and growth in a dynamic environment.

Cubo opened its new 20,000 sq. ft workspace on the top two floors of Bank House, part of the transformative Pilgrim Street development, in November 2023. The building boasts a high-profile city centre location, with unbeatable 360o degree panoramic view of the city’s skyline. It also provides easy access to major transport links and is just an eight-minute walk to Central Station and a four-minute walk to the Metro Station.

Cubo is the UK’s fastest growing flex office operator, with 13 sites across the UK. Member benefits include 24/7 secure access, large communal spaces, private areas, break-out spaces, meeting rooms and kitchens, a barista service with free beer and fizz on tap, along with a programme of free networking events - all designed to enhance the lifestyle-led offering at Cubo.

Members at Cubo Newcastle can also enjoy shower facilities with lockers, drying rooms and towel stations, bike storage and electric bike charging points. They also enjoy fresh air ventilation, air conditioning and solar control glazing throughout.

Commenting on the move to Bank House, Connor Farley, founder and managing director of Marconi Associates, said:

“Bank House is the most high-profile office building in Newcastle and our move here marks an exciting milestone for the company.

“With our team in the office five days a week, we wanted to provide them with a first-class workspace and a dynamic, sociable environment.

"Cubo offers everything a young, growing business needs. The state-of-the-art facilities and vibrant community at Bank House provide the perfect platform for us to accelerate growth, with plans to double our turnover to £1 million and expand our team by up to four new members by the end of the year.

"We’ve already experienced the fantastic Cubo space in Soho and look forward to making use of Cubo Edinburgh in the coming months."

Marc Brough, CEO at Cubo, added:

“We are delighted to welcome Connor and his team to Cubo Newcastle. Their move to Bank House reflects the growing demand for high-quality, flexible workspaces that foster collaboration and innovation.

“At Cubo, we provide businesses with an inspiring environment, premium facilities, and a thriving community, allowing them to focus on growth and success.

“With its unrivalled location within the exciting Pilgrim Street development, Bank House is the perfect fit for global businesses like Marconi Associates and is attracting a diverse range of businesses looking to be based in one of the city’s most high-profile buildings.”
