Perkins&Will was appointed to lead the relocation of Beazley’s London headquarters. Insurance companies historically have traditional office environments, but Beazley wanted to differentiate themselves with a transformational workspace, which is pioneering in their industry. They embraced new ways of working, opting for activity-based working and varied settings, prioritising employee experience and wellbeing.
Choosing 22 Bishopsgate was one of the first and key decisions, and Beazley were one of the first companies to commit to the building. The basebuild boasts excellent sustainability credentials, from construction to occupancy. When selecting a location for their new office, Beazley wanted a building that would reflect their own views and practices when it comes to the environmental impact.
Perkins&Will worked with Munira Hirji, Global Head of Commercial Management, to bring the concept to life and reflect Beazley’s position as being ‘different to the rest’ taking inspiration from the hospitality sector.
