A Tyneside computer specialist is moving to a new head office after seeing increasing growth.
Gaming PC and laptop company CyberPowerPC has expanded for a third time, moving from its Team Valley base into new 43,000sqft premises on the Gateshead business park. Founded in the US, CyberPowerPC has backing from tech giants like Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Asus and Microsoft. The business was set up in the UK over 20 years ago by managing director Brian Lin to bring the brand to Europe for the first time, and the last few years it has enjoyed substantial growth.
The company’s main business is building and customising PCs and laptops, with customers including gamers, content creators, creative agencies, colleges and universities, developers, aerospace organisations and a host of other industries. During the pandemic, the global lockdown triggered a massive boom in gaming which increased demand for PCs and other hardware. CyberPowerPC has seen continued strong levels of business, having taken advantage of the demand throughout the lockdowns.
Mr Lin said: “CyberPowerPC is a worldwide brand, but had no physical HQ in the UK, which is where we came in and from humble beginnings with a small office and a handful of people, we’ve grown to over 50 employees and moved in to new 43,000sqft base in Team Valley.
“In short, if it’s a PC or a laptop then we can build it, regardless of the application. As we’ve grown the UK arm of the business, we’ve worked to establish a reputation as one of the top PC system integrators in the UK, winning a host of awards for systems servicing consumers and businesses. It’s another exciting milestone for us as we move into this new base of operations that will allow us to continue our development and create highly skilled jobs here in North East England.
“CyberPowerPC’s growth has been controlled with strong commercial management and now, where we see competitors struggling, we’re expanding so we’re doing something right. We’re focused on commercial and holistic growth – our ambition is to be both the biggest system integrators and be renowned for the best customer experience.
“UK Land Estates has been our landlord since the beginning, always finding us the ideal the property within its portfolio as we have grown.”
UK Land Estates commercial director David Gibbs said: “CyberPowerPC is an incredible company that works hard to ensure it stays at the very forefront of the computer sector, flexing to meet the ever-changing needs of its client base. It has been fantastic to play a small part in the firm’s growth and expansion, and UK Land Estates was delighted to help CyberPowerPC find its new home when they informed us they needed larger premises.”
