Drinks giant Diageo has revealed that it will be moving its global headquarters from its current building in Park Royal, northwest London, to a new central home in the capital.
The move will take place in the Spring of 2021 with all 900 employees across Diageo’s four London-based offices being bought together in the new site at 16 Great Marlborough Street, Soho.
The company stated that the move provided the opportunity to create “an agile, world-leading working environment” for all its London-based staff. It will also reduce its combined 200,000 sq. ft. of office space to a “more efficient” 105,000 sq. ft. building.
The new site is due to undergo a complete refurbishment with Diageo’s employees involved in the design of the workspace. The company revealed the new HQ will also provide an “immersive” customer collaboration centre and brand experience, along with a dedicated retail experience open to the public.
Mairéad Nayager, Chief HR Officer at Diageo said: “We are excited to be bringing our people together at last under one roof and closer to our consumers. We intend to create a world-leading workspace for them, designed to meet the needs of Diageo today and in the future.
“Our new headquarters will provide the most inclusive of working environments for all of our people and enable us to retain and attract the best talent in the future.”
