Property and construction consultancy completes office revamp

Property and construction consultancy Gleeds has completed a revamp of its Manchester office.

The project was carried out by workplace consultancy and interior fit-out specialists Blueprint interiors and will allow the business to remain in its city centre location.

Situated at Abbey House on Mosely Street, Gleeds opted for renovation as opposed to relocation in order to retain its connectivity, giving its 80-strong staff more options to walk, cycle, or use public transport to get to work.

Brian McArdle, director at Gleeds, said: “Blueprint Interiors has helped us to create a showcase office in Manchester. We now have a sustainable, fit for purpose space that has boosted morale and increased levels of employee engagement, making embracing hybrid working easier for all. By embedding more technology, we’re also enabling teams to collaborate more effectively across the UK and on international projects. This renovation has set a new corporate benchmark that will attract professionals to join us, impress our clients and be enjoyed by our employees.”

Andy Sawyer, project director from Blueprint Interiors, added: “The design principles were driven by a desire to provide a more open plan hybrid work environment that reflects the way people prefer to work has significantly changed. The office has also been designed to embrace the Gleeds vision and values in all areas to create an office space that inspires people to be happy and motivated to deliver their best work.”
