Fit-out company named for huge HMRC offices
The company who will fit-out the new 275,000 sq ft HMRC office building in Nottingham city centre has been named.
Mace Interiors, Mace’s fit-out business, landed the job at Unity Square, opposite Nottingham’s railway station, which will operate as one of HMRC’s regional hubs.
The new office is set to open in summer 2021 and the first phase will eventually host around 4,000 HMRC employees.
The contract will see Mace Interiors work across 10 floors at Unity Square. Work on the fit-out will begin in December 2020, following structural completion of Unity Square.
The appointment is part of HMRC creating 13 Regional Centres across the UK.
HMRC’s employees are currently spread across 100 offices around the country. Many of these offices date from the 1960s and 1970s and range in size from around 6,000 people to fewer than 10, making them expensive to run.
The announcement marks the third major appointment for Mace Interiors on the HMRC’s Regional Centres modernisation programme, with the contractor previously having delivered the new Croydon office and currently working on a facility in Bristol.
Stewart Ward, director of Mace Interiors, said: “This will be the third major HMRC fit-out job that Mace Interiors have secured, and it is down to the excellent relationship we have built with our client – and the fantastic work that our teams are delivering on their behalf in Bristol and have delivered in Croydon. The modernisation programme is supporting the wider transformation of the HMRC and we are very proud to be able to play a role in that.”
