Move to York House

An efficient and high quality Head Office that is designed and equipped to meet the needs of our people.

During 2006 we prepared for our Head Office move from Cornwall Terrace, London NW1, to York House, London W1, in Spring 2007. A Relocation Committee, consisting of senior managers and executives, was formed. This Committee consulted with employees and experts to ensure that York House meets the needs of our people.

Employees were updated about progress through newsletters and a section on the Company's Intranet. We also consulted them on various features of the new offices including printing, faxing and telephone requirements, as well as the chairs and desks that they will be using. During December 2006 tours of York House were organised to discuss seating and operational arrangements.

The fit out of the property was guided by the British Land Sustainability Brief. Nearly £500,000 was invested in corporate responsibility measures, including installing cycle racks, showers and energy mains metering. A draft Travel Plan for York House was developed in December 2006; it will be published in 2007.
