Hay & Kilner advises Smart Works North East on new premises lease
Hay & Kilner have advised client Smart Works North East on the successful lease of its new premises in Newcastle, marking an important milestone in the charity’s continued growth in the region.
Smart Works North East provides high-quality interview clothing, coaching and support to women seeking employment. With demand for its services increasing, the charity is relocating to a new, more accessible site on Collingwood Street in Newcastle.
Hay & Kilner guided the trustees of Smart Works North East and Helen Boyd, Head of Smart Works North East, on the lease and the legal aspects of the move.
The Hay & Kilner team is comprised of Georgia Whitfield, Amandeep Dhillon and Jennifer Boynton. Kevin McGorie at Sanderson Weatherall LLP acted as agent for Smart Works North East, with Parker Knights and Latimer Hinks representing the landlord.
Georgia Whitfield, Associate at Hay & Kilner, said:
“We’re delighted to have supported Smart Works North East with their move. The charity plays a vital role in empowering women across our region, and securing the right premises will allow them to expand their services and continue making an impact. It’s been a pleasure working with Helen and the trustees on this next stage of their journey.”
Helen Boyd, Head of Smart Works North East, said:
“This move is a really exciting step for Smart Works North East. Our new premises will give us the space and flexibility to support even more women as they prepare for job interviews and new opportunities. Hay & Kilner’s guidance has been invaluable throughout the process, and we are grateful for their ongoing support.”
