BT has recently unveiled a new multi-million-pound office in the heart of Manchester, marking the final stage of the company’s five year, UK-wide ‘Better Workplace’ transformation plan, which aimed to reduce its office spaces from around 300 to closer to 30 key locations.
Four New Bailey will house up to 2,000 colleagues from across BT Group and replaces BT’s former office site in Deansgate, adding to the company’s other north west locations in Liverpool, Accrington and Warrington.
Manchester joins other locations including Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Dundee and the London HQ in opening its doors to a newly built BT hub.
Multi-million-pound refurbishments have also been carried out at other locations, including Belfast, Doncaster, Glasgow and Newcastle.
Allison Kirkby, BT Group Chief Executive (pictured) said: “The opening of our new Manchester office is a significant milestone on the journey to transform BT and our office spaces around the UK.
“We’ve invested heavily to provide quality office spaces for our people across the country, reflecting how critical we are to every region of the UK. The broader economic effect from our offices, our people and our spend with UK suppliers is worth £23bn to the nation’s economy and beyond our own people we support around 212,000 jobs in the wider UK economy.”
