Manchester relocation for Crowe UK – OBI provided consultancy services on the move

Nigel Bostock, Crowe’s chief executive, stated: “Our strategic vision has seen the firm grow substantially over the last few years, spurring us to find an outstanding office space which supports our people and long-term business growth in Manchester and the wider region.

“The combination of a highly educated talent pool, excellent transport links, and a strong, innovative economy reflects our belief that Manchester is the expansive place for business and growth in the North.”

The firm, in collaboration with its real estate advisor OBI and landlord Grade A Alternative, has undertaken a major ‘fit-out’ programme.

Richard Lace, OBI’s director of transactions and asset management, commented: “OBI provided Crowe with multi-disciplinary consultancy services in relation to the acquisition, interior design, and delivery of their new office.

“Having negotiated the new lease at St George’s House, OBI went on to design and deliver the fit-out of the new office. Crowe’s brief was to create an engaging and collaborative environment that reflected Crowe’s brand and cultural values while drawing on influences from the physical form and features of St George’s House.”

Hannah Cooper, investment and asset manager at Grade A Alternative, remarked: “The fit-out looks fantastic, and it has been a pleasure working with clients who both appreciate the history and architecture of the building and understand the importance of providing a flexible and functional workspace for their employees and clients.”
