Chartered surveying firm moves to Grey Street
youngsRPS, a chartered surveyor and property consultancy, has moved premises as part of its growth and expansion.
The firm has gained more clients after their acquisition of Stanton Mortimer two years ago and has increased their workforce to continue to provide optimum service.
Their new premises are at 23 Grey Street.
"While our traditional rural and residential services remain extremely important to us, we have seen significant developments in our commercial work; both from our property and planning sectors," said director Michael Blake.
"Despite being relatively small in numbers in comparison to some of the other city centre agents, our team now has over 100 years’ experience within the Tyne and Wear region. As well as bringing new clients on board, we’ve also welcomed new members of the team.
"Helen Marks has joined us as a planning consultant bringing with her over 20 years’ experience in both the private and public planning sectors. Our new office space allows for further recruitment opportunities to support client growth both now and in the long term."

Moving into a new building is the perfect time to assess your current payroll system, specifically the way that you record employee attendance and their hours worked.
Many companies, even in today’s high-tech world, still use weekly paper timesheets to record employee working hours. These have more downsides than they have advantages.
For example, they are very easy for an unscrupulous employee to fake. If there is no way of monitoring their attendance apart from their own self-reporting, then they can easily put in overtime or prime time shifts that they didn’t actually do.
Even an honest employee could forget exact details and fudge an entry. Inaccurate working hours could put you at risk of breaching the European Working Time Regulations.
Another example is the incredible amount of processing time that timesheets can cost payroll staff. They need to transfer often illegible handwriting individually onto Excel spreadsheets in order to convert it into data they can deal with for payroll. One typo could completely change an employee’s payslip for that month.
