London property business appoints fit-out specialist for its new Northern HQ

A London-based industrial property company has appointed an Altrincham firm to carry out the interior fit-out of its new Northern headquarters.

Industrials REIT has acquired a 4,300 sq ft office in No 2, Stockport Exchange.

Consensus Workspace has now been appointed to deliver a highly sustainable, flexible workspace suitable for up to 60 staff, mirroring the design principles of Industrials REIT’s Great Portland Street office in London.

Julian Carey, Industrials REIT managing director, said: “We were very impressed with Consensus’ vision for the fit-out, which will result in a modern, flexible and imaginative space, with health and wellbeing at its centre.

“No 2 Stockport Exchange is the ideal location for our expanding team in the region, and our new office will provide the optimal platform to deliver on our growth ambitions.”

Andy Plastow, director at Consensus, said: “The fit-out involves flooring works, new partitions and IT infrastructure to create private offices and meeting rooms, but will also encourage collaborative working through larger open plan areas, kitchens and dining zones.

“We are creating a design which will reflect Industrials REIT’s London office in terms of brand synergy and will have a focus on sustainable materials and natural light, creating a welcoming, healthy place of work for the whole team.”
