BPO Collections held their grand opening for their new premises in Ardrossan earlier this week.

The company, who moved from Stevenston’s Grange Building to the Quayside building at Ardrossan Marina will share the building with Cunninghame Housing Association when they move in to the former Irvine Bay building later this year.

Guests included Elma Murray, Chief Executive of North Ayrshire Council, together with other senior staff from NAC, clients, business partners and BPO staff.

The company was founded in 2006 with a workforce of nine staff and has grown over the years and now employ over 50 staff. 10 additional jobs are being created with the relocation from our current offices with a further 10 jobs planned by the end of 2017 with the majority of staff employed residing in and around the three towns.

Speaking about the move, Graham Rankin, Managing Director, BPO Collections Ltd, said: “We are really excited about our move to Marina Quay. Our new premises provide a world class working environment for our staff, a dedicated training facility and what a location to show to both new and prospective clients. I would like to thank all our business partners who have supported us thus far and look forward to their continued support.”

Frank Sweeney, Chief Executive of Cunninghame Housing Association, added: “CHA is delighted to have BPO as an Anchor Tenant in our new Quayside offices. They are a great firm, with a go ahead attitude to further grow their business. We at CHA wish them every success for the future. From our perspective we would hope to move in sometime in late October, given that we will need to carry our major fit out works to the remainder of the building which we will occupy. It is hoped that these works will commence in July.”

Elma Murray, Chief Executive of North Ayrshire Council said: “I am delighted to celebrate the official opening of BPO Collections new premises. Through Team North Ayrshire, we have been able to support the company in securing their long-term lease to move to Marina Quay in Ardrossan.

“Their new premises offer a top class working environment in a stunning setting overlooking the harbour.

“We look forward to helping the company with its future growth plans to expand even further within North Ayrshire.”
