Caerphilly-based Town Square Spaces Ltd has been appointed to operate the new Perch Eco Business Centre, in what will be a first-of-its-kind eco commercial building.

The company has been appointed to operate the centre, which will be in Bicester, Oxfordshire, by Cherwell District Council.

Developed by Cherwell District Council, this is the first non-domestic building in the UK to achieve Passivhaus Plus – a rigorous standard for energy efficiency.

Following a competitive tender process, Town Square was chosen by Cherwell Council to manage and run the centre.

One of two co-working spaces in the town, the £4m investment into the Perch Eco Business Centre will provide office space and support startups and small businesses.

Town Square, which also leads the Wrexham Enterprise Hub on behalf of Business Wales, is run by Mandy Weston and Gareth Jones, the founders of Caerphilly’s Welsh ICE business centre.
