£3.5 revamp of Lynch Wood Business Park is hailed as 'sign of confidence' in Peterborough
New look offices aim to meet workers’ needs
A £3.5 million revamp of a Peterborough business park has been heralded as a ‘sign of confidence ‘ in the city.
The refurbishment was carried out to the 50,000 square feet office campus at Lynch Wood Business Park.
Features of the new look campus include a state-of-the-art bistro, large on-site gym and serviced office space comprising flexible coworking and breakout spaces.
Tom Hennessy, chief executive of Opportunity Peterborough, said: “It’s a sign of the growing confidence in Peterborough that owners, FIREM, has invested £3.5 million in upgrading the campus.
“It’s great to see what a positive impact Lynch Wood Business Park has already had on employees and I hope to see it continue.
“It is a fantastic addition to the city and will act as real magnet for ambitious businesses."
Tim Knowles, founder of FIREM, said: “We need to listen and take notice of what employees want; they benefit from the energy, relationships and motivation of the workplace, but they also want the comfort, convenience and flexibility of home-working.
“Here we have worked hard to provide both - bringing the benefits of hybrid working into the workplace and striking the right balance between work and wellbeing.”
Ryan Barber, Head of Office at FIREM, said: “We see first-hand the difference well designed workplaces make to businesses. Lynch Wood Park is a fantastic example of an innovative campus enriching the working lives of employees.”
