HARRISON SPINKS OFFICE & SHOWROOM TRANSFORMATION
Reimagining a Technical College into a Modern Workspace
When Harrison Spinks acquired a 21,430 sq. ft. former technical college in Beeston, Leeds, they aimed to create a state-of-the-art head office and showroom that would embody their innovation, heritage, and sustainability values.
Working closely with Bluesky Design, who developed the initial concept and workplace analysis, ADT Workplace delivered the full office fit-out and construction over 15 weeks, ensuring the new space fostered collaboration, productivity, and an enhanced brand experience for employees and visitors alike.
A Strategic & Thoughtful Transformation
The existing building required extensive refurbishment, including a complete strip-out to prepare it for its new purpose. Bluesky Design led the design concept and technical planning, while ADT Workplace managed the construction, structural adaptations, and high-quality fit-out to bring the vision to life.
The exterior enhancements were designed to complement the modern interior, reinforcing the company’s brand identity and making a lasting first impression on visitors.
A Versatile & Engaging Workspace
The new head office was designed to accommodate 90 employees, providing a combination of private workspaces, collaborative zones, and client-facing areas.
Key Features:
- A double-height reception & lounge – A welcoming entrance with a comfortable seating and refreshment area enhances the visitor experience.
- Flexible meeting rooms & quiet zones – A mix of formal and informal meeting areas allows employees to work in ways that suit them best.
- Shared breakout spaces – Encouraging interaction between office and warehouse teams, strengthening workplace culture.
By incorporating these elements, the workspace supports employee well-being while aligning with business needs.
Sustainability & Brand Identity in Every Detail
To reflect Harrison Spinks’ commitment to sustainability, the interior design integrates:
- Natural materials & textures – Inspired by the organic elements used in their products, reinforcing an eco-conscious workspace.
- A brand-aligned colour palette – Earthy, refined tones that enhance the office’s modern yet welcoming atmosphere.
These choices ensure that the new office and showroom fully embody the company’s values while offering a functional, high-performance workplace.
A Future-Ready Office & Showroom
The result is a modern, sustainable, and collaborative workspace that not only enhances employee experience but also delivers a memorable brand journey for visitors.
