Workplace Week

November 30, 2017
 In aid of Children of Need, our HR Director, Mette Blackmore and Design Director, Julian Hampson got involved in Workplace week, where they got the chance to visit some of London’s most innovative workspaces, including iconic institutions, creative agencies and some of the world’s best-loved consumer brands.

The team enjoyed a tour of the Innocent offices, which were brilliantly designed by Stiff+Trevillion as well as ZPG, one of Glass Door’s ‘Top 10 Coolest Offices in 2017’. With all proceeds from Workplace Week going to Children in Need, these tours not only did these events provide an opportunity to gain great insight and inspiration for our own developments but it was all for a great cause.

In total 450 workplace professionals got involved in Workplace Week this year, raising over £20,000 for Children in Need – we’re already looking forward to next year!
