The Warren Collection’s Mark Docherty said the expansion into Newcastle was a natural step for the growing company.

He said Kensington House will cater to the unique needs of corporate clients, especially those in the medical profession, who will benefit from Jesmond’s proximity to key institutions and transportation links.

“The city offers a dynamic mix of business and leisure opportunities, and Jesmond’s prime location will ensure our clients are centrally located and well-connected to everything Newcastle has to offer,” said the commercial director.

“We look forward to welcoming guests, whether they’re in town for a short stay or on a longer-term relocation.”
