INTERACTIVE INVESTOR’S COLLABORATIVE AND AGILE OFFICE DESIGN
ADT Workplace is proud to have delivered a full office design and refurbishment for Interactive Investor, the UK’s leading flat- fee investment platform. The 31,345 sqft office space, located in Manchester’s financial hub on Deansgate, was designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and agile working. This inspiring new office serves as the company’s head office, housing up to 250 employees across various teams, including a contact centre and digital hub.
Project Overview
Following a competitive pitch process, Interactive Investor selected ADT Workplace to undertake the comprehensive refurbishment and fit-out of their Manchester office. The project encompassed CAT A, CAT B, and CAT C works, ensuring that every aspect of the space was tailored to the company’s needs. The result is a timeless, elegant office that promotes both collaboration and growth, perfectly suited for the fast-paced nature of Interactive Investor’s operations.
The space was designed with a focus on flexibility, ensuring that employees could easily collaborate while also enjoying areas for relaxation and individual focus. The office now stands as a testament to Interactive Investor’s commitment to innovation and their forward-thinking approach to workplace design.
Key Features and Design Highlights
At the heart of the open-plan office is an impressive atrium that serves as a central hub for collaboration, relaxation, and meetings. The atrium is a key feature of the space, encouraging interaction between different teams and departments. A striking architectural staircase connects the two floors, allowing easy communication between the contact centre and digital teams. This feature eliminates the need for external lifts and creates a fluid, open environment.
