INTERACTIVE INVESTOR’S LEEDS OFFICE REVAMP
Project Overview
Interactive Investor, the UK’s leading flat-fee investment platform, partnered with ADT Workplace to revamp their Leeds office. After successfully completing their Manchester HQ in 2019, this project aimed to create a dynamic and flexible workspace for their growing team.
Vision and Objectives
Interactive Investor needed a workplace that would match their modern ethos. It had to reflect the success of their Manchester office, while also catering to the specific needs of the Leeds operation.
The 16,350 sqft. space at One The Embankment required a blend of collaborative and private spaces to support different working styles. The design also aimed to enhance productivity and engagement among employees.
Office Fit-Out and Design Approach
The Leeds office refurbishment involved a CAT B & C fit-out, transforming the internal layout. The long, narrow, L-shaped floor plan presented unique design challenges. To address this, ADT Workplace introduced the “Room” concept, where each room featured a distinct focal point, such as collaboration zones or private meeting areas. This approach ensured flexibility and variety throughout the workspace.
Biophilic design was a key feature of the project, with green walls and natural wood finishes promoting a sense of well- being. The design team used natural light and modern materials to create a calming yet productive atmosphere, aligning with Interactive Investor’s broader workplace goals.
Addressing Key Challenges
Technology and Flexibility
A key aspect of the refurbishment was the implementation of technology to support agile working. ADT Workplace integrated a new technology platform that connected the Leeds office with Interactive Investor’s other UK locations, including Manchester. This ensured seamless collaboration across offices and allowed staff to work flexibly.
Collaboration with Key Partners
Results
The result is a contemporary new workplace that supports both collaboration and focused work. Richard Wilson, CEO of Interactive Investor, stated: “We have been delighted to collaborate with ADT Workplace on our new Leeds office. They have created a dynamic and flexible space that we hope will provide an enjoyable and inspiring environment for our staff.”
The refurbishment not only met the design brief but also exceeded expectations in terms of employee engagement and productivity. The flexible layout and thoughtful design have created a work environment that will support Interactive Investor’s future growth plans.
Conclusion
The successful completion of Interactive Investor’s Leeds office demonstrates ADT Workplace’s expertise in delivering high-quality office fit-outs. By addressing the specific needs of the client, ADT Workplace created a workspace that supports employee well-being, productivity, and long-term growth.
The Leeds office refurbishment builds on the strong partnership established with Interactive Investor during the Manchester HQ project. This collaboration highlights ADT Workplace’s ability to provide tailored solutions that meet the operational and cultural needs of their clients, creating inspiring work environments that drive success.
