The deal was completed by joint agents Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) and Lambert Smith Hampton on behalf of owners Zurich, for building 3000C on Solent Business Park. 

Nella Pang, director at JLL, said: '˜The reason this building was selected was due to its plug and play capabilities. This allows them to reduce their capex, contribution towards their fit out but provides an office they can control, as oppose to serviced offices. This also allows them to quickly move in, rather than a drawn out process.

Emma Lockey, who acted for NATS, said: '˜3000c was selected by NATS due to its proximity to their existing building and the fact that the space was plug and play.'
