35. “We are very pleased that the Zig-Zag Building will become our new
permanent London office and Global Headquarters in 2015.
This was a carefully considered choice which fits with all the strategic
objectives set out when we begin the process of search and selection for
a new location.
This is also a particularly important decision from our employees
perspective and we feel that the building has many positive attributes,
located in a regenerated area that has excellent transport links and local
facilities. It’s environmental credentials and proximity to St James Park
were also influential factors in our decision making process”
