Haymarket to move all London staff to one Richmond-based office

By William Turvill

All Haymarket employees in London are to be relocated to an office in the London borough of Richmond.

Chief executive Kevin Costello told staff across four London offices yesterday that they will be moved into one “fit-for-purpose” site.

Currently, Haymarket has three offices in Hammersmith – 174 Hammersmith Road, Bute Gardens and Wolverton Gardens – and one in Teddington.

It was originally intended that Haymarket would sell the Bute and Wolverton offices and demolish and rebuild 174 Hammersmith Road.

But Costello said the decision has been taken to sell all three Hammersmith offices and also move staff from Teddington Studios.

Later this year, staff from Hammersmith offices will move to Haymarket’s Teddington Studios for an interim period until the new location is ready.

Costello said in an internal email: “While I am unable yet to say exactly where the new offices will be, please rest assured that fast, easy transport links and good local amenities have been foremost in our minds.”

Haymarket is also planning to open a new “satellite/hot office in the West End for staff who need to go into Central London for events or to see contacts or clients”.
