The team were appointed to undertake workplace consultancy for Auto Trader and to manage their migration from 6no. separate sites into a new Head Office facility in Manchester.

Service lines involved included:

• Building Consultancy
• Dilapidations Advice
• Project Management
• Cost Consultancy
• Workplace Consultancy
• CDM Services

The challenges encountered were the integration of several offices into a single location, a phased approach resulting in fitout in close proximity to staff, how to use space more effectively and anticipate future spatial demand for growth in the new building.

The client’s organisation had been through a lot of changes in the run up to the move with more than 50% of their head count being millennia. They needed a space that reflected the generational change in how people work. Auto Trader is a people business and they needed a headquarters that reflected their culture, that ensured they retained talent and enabled them to attract the best new talent/ The new workplace and environment enabled their employees to be inspired by our vibrant surrounding, bringing the outside into their organisation.
