MAJOR expansion at a telecommunications firm has prompted a move to bigger premises.

MeetingZone, which specialises in audio and Internet conference call technology, has uprooted from its old base at Chilton, near Didcot and relocated to Thame.

The company has almost doubled its workforce to 48 in the last year, while turnover has climbed to £6m from £1.5m four years ago, when it first set up in Chilton.

Chief executive Tim Duffy said pressure on firms to cut costs, improve efficiency and go green was driving the conference-call market.

He added: "Not only does conferencing and collaboration easily and quickly bringing together, regardless of their location, an organisation's senior management and teams, they reduce the need for business travel."

The relocation to Oxford Road in Thame comes shortly after the opening of MeetingZone's first European office in Berlin.
