OP is set to deliver the new Solihull office of ABP UK, part of the ABP Food Group, one of Europe’s leading food processors.

The office interior design consultancy has been chosen to refurbish 28,000 sq ft of Vienna House, International Park, following a competitive tendering process.

The 12-week project will create a modern, high-quality office environment for up to 200 people, with a range of settings to allow for privacy, focussed work, and collaboration.

Features will include a purpose-built conference suite, demonstration kitchen, and space for town hall meetings. There will also be quiet spaces and also various areas for collaborative working and client visits.

Specialist acoustics will be installed throughout the workspace to ensure optimum noise levels.

The office design is underpinned by a commitment to environmentally sustainable products, including finishes made with plastic sourced from the ocean floor. Existing office furniture and materials are being reused and retained wherever possible, while a number of carpet tiles have been donated to a local mental health charity.

ABP acquired Vienna House earlier this year and will occupy two floors of the three-storey, self-contained building, on completion of the refurbishment.

We’re looking forward to delivering a fabulous new workplace for ABP UK. The project is the culmination of a year-long collaboration between the two companies to pinpoint the best available location for the new office and create a high-end design that supports flexible ways of working. We have engaged staff from ABP UK in the design process, which has not only enabled them to better understand how the space will function, but has built a real sense of excitement in the project too.
