The brief for Opportunity Green was to assess options for a larger office due to growth in headcount, ahead of their license expiry with FBC. They were specifically looking for a space in the Farringdon/Clerkenwell areas that could accommodate 20 desks and 2 internal meeting rooms.
SHB successfully found a space 2.5 times the size of their current office, located in a prime area with a building offering an onsite gym and café, as well as a supportive landlord. This move resulted in a £166,000 saving over the 24-month license term compared to their existing provider. The primary challenges were navigating a competitive market, which had driven up prices, while ensuring the new space improved employee experience, increased the footprint, and minimized operational costs and capital expenditure.
Ultimately, the solution met all of Opportunity Green’s requirements while delivering substantial savings.
