PwC opens doors to largest UK regional office in Birmingham

PwC has opened its largest UK regional office after moving in to its landmark new Birmingham home One Chamberlain Square.

The firm’s 2000-strong team in Birmingham has moved across the city from Cornwall Court, where it has been based for 27 years, to its new home in the city’s Paradise development project.

PwC occupies the whole of the commercial space in the seven storey, 172,000sq ft office building, which also has retail and leisure facilities on the ground floor.

Matthew Hammond, Midlands region chairman and senior partner for PwC in Birmingham, said: “It is with immense pride on behalf of all those involved in PwC’s investment in One Chamberlain Square that we move into our new home in the very heart of Birmingham and the UK.

“The culmination of many years’ hard work by our colleagues and the development partners have made the visionary scheme for Paradise, and in particular One Chamberlain Square, a reality.

“Consistent with our desire to take the heritage and culture of Birmingham and the Midlands as the inspiration for One Chamberlain Square, our team have used the motto ‘Everything is Possible’ in our endeavours to create an unrivalled environment for clients, colleagues and visitors.”

PwC will also be the anchor tenant of the Paradise scheme with One Chamberlain Square being the first building to be occupied ahead of the completion of Two Chamberlain Square this Spring.
Rob Groves, regional director at Argent, said: “Welcoming PwC to One Chamberlain Square is the culmination of years’ of work and planning. There is a very strong synergy between PwC and the quality of what we are creating and we are immensely proud that PwC has chosen to make its largest regional investment here at Paradise.”
