THE NEW PLACE TO WORK

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF FOUR COMMUNICATIONS

Whitechapel is a furnace for creativity and culture. Here you’ll find start-ups with fresh ideas and big businesses. The Hickman is perfectly placed to connect businesses with local communities and support local growth.

Local businesses like Goji Investments, Maersk, Four Communications and BT have all relocated their offices to Whitechapel in order to get more out of their workspaces and adapt to the flexible working culture to support their businesses expanding and growing teams. In 2021, BT relocated their office space from St Paul's to Whitechapel which is testament to the appeal of the area to both start-ups and large corporates alike.

From sustainability to innovation, these businesses are relocating to the area for a more adaptable workspace that’s beneficial for their workforce and to support their growing businesses. We see more businesses that are on the lookout for smarter, high-tech and sustainable workspace facilities which are now a central part of everyday working life with hybrid working the new norm. Flexible workspaces are now a priority for big businesses and start-ups to provide open spaces and on-site amenities allowing teams to connect, develop and collaborate.

"WE WERE HEADQUARTERED IN BT CENTRE FOR NEARLY 35 YEARS AND WE WERE LOOKING FOR A BUILDING IN CENTRAL LONDON THAT WOULD BE THE HOME OF BT FOR THE NEXT 35 OR MORE. THE 18 FLOORS OF OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS (1 BRAHAM ST, WHITECHAPEL) WILL DO JUST THAT."
