Shawbrook Bank

Shawbrook’s new office is more than a workplace; it’s a vibrant reflection of the company’s vision for the future. Creating a space that brings together diverse cultures following acquisitions requires an environment that unifies and fosters a single, dynamic workplace. The ambition of the exciting workplace transformation was clear: Shawbrook wanted a space that would “wow” their team. The result? A cutting-edge, innovative space that reflects Shawbrook’s commitment to business growth and employee satisfaction, blending style, sustainability, and success in perfect harmony.

Maximising impact through sustainable re-use

Sustainability was a core focus of the project, with material choices showcasing eco-friendly, recycled, and renewable products throughout. Approximately 66% of traditional desks and alternative seating were reused from previous office spaces. Additionally, the focus pods, furniture in the flex space, wellness room, and multi-faith room primarily consisted of reused furniture. As a result, 46% of the total furniture across the space was reused, significantly reducing landfill waste and supporting a circular economy.

Having undergone multiple acquisitions, Shawbrook needed a space which unified their different brands and cultures under one roof.
