Office Principles Provides Grand Fit for Housing Group

Office Principles worked closely with both client and architect to create a space steeped in Grand Union core values, which include a commitment to sustainability and community, fostering a collaborative approach.

Touchdown working zones represent a shift in the way staff work and the way team members feel about coming to work. British-made products have been used, in the main, to reflect the Grand Union's commitment to the wider community.

Isabel Thonger, Director of Customer Experience for Grand Union Housing Group, said:

"We now have a vibrant space that promotes wellbeing, collaboration and productivity, while compelling our team to come in each morning and embrace a new style of working, with a friendly atmosphere and a community feel. We couldn't be more pleased."

Joint managing director of Office Principles, Cyril Parsons is delighted with the positive reaction to the works:

"The feedback has been great, with specific comments about the furniture we sourced as well as the wider space.

It۪s always good to see a company adopt a worker-led style that is inclusive and team-focused. We wish Grand Union every success and would be happy to work with them again on other projects. Their leaders are positive collaborators, who are open to ideas and forward-thinking which goes a great way to the success of any project."
