Machine manufacturer selects design company to revamp Derbyshire HQ

Office design company OP has been chosen to transform the workplace for MMD, a global firm in mining, quarrying, and recycling.

The project includes a two-storey extension to MMD’s Derbyshire headquarters, focusing on collaboration and sustainability.

The ground floor will feature a dining area with a commercial kitchen, shower facilities, and a gym, while the first floor will have a games and training area, a boardroom with buffet space, and a roof terrace.

Gary Tailby, joint managing director of OP, said: “We’re delighted to partner with MMD on this transformative project that perfectly balances heritage with innovation. The design not only creates essential amenity spaces but facilitates a cultural shift towards more collaborative ways of working. By incorporating sustainable technologies and celebrating MMD’s industrial heritage, we’re creating a workplace that will serve their team well into the future.”

Graham Griffiths at MMD said: “This development represents a significant step in MMD’s evolution, creating spaces where our teams can come together, collaborate and relax. OP’s understanding of our heritage and vision for the future has resulted in a design that will transform how we work and interact as a company.”
