The Bristol office had been in their previous premises for over 25 years. During that time, the number of staff had grown from around 80 to over 180 people, so a new space was needed, as Justin Spencer, Partner explains: “Apart from needing more space to accommodate our growing work force, we wanted to offer our staff improved facilities, such as a proper café and provision for cyclists and runners. We also wanted to offer more diverse ways of working, including a wider range of meeting and breakout spaces. It was hoped that the Bristol office would become a ‘destination office’ for Hoare Lea staff and clients, as well as prospective employees.”
