L&C Mortgages' new Bath office

L&C Mortgages has confirmed it is relocating to a new head office in Bath, which has been created by workplace design company Interaction.

The broker, which employs more than 450 people in the city, is moving from Beazer House, its base for more than 20 years, to the Newark Works development on the Bath Quays.

The firm said the new offices have been chosen for their ability to offer L&C and its employees everything that is required of the modern workplace and to accommodate the era of flexible and hybrid working patterns.

The new workplace provides 4,864sq ft of adaptable office space for both focussed and collaborative working.

Interaction also designed the communal spaces at Newark Works including a centrepiece bar and entrance area to foster community between tenants, creating a destination hub for Bath’s creative businesses.

Commenting on the move to Newark Works, Alan Young, CEO at L&C said: “As a major employer in Bath and the surrounding areas, it’s vital for us to retain our central position in the city. Newark Works is an exciting new development that fits the needs of our business.

“Our colleagues enjoy the flexibility of hybrid working and we’re sure that Newark Works will give us the very best environment to ensure that continues.

“It will provide them with the flexible workspace they need to support hybrid working while helping to nurture a sense of community and greater collaboration. We wish them continued success in their fantastic new home.”
