Workman opens new Birmingham base

A commercial property firm has relocated its Birmingham operations into a larger city centre office following a major high-spec refurbishment.

Workman LLP has moved its Birmingham team into 4500sq ft of newly fitted office space at 19 Cornwall Street in the city’s Colmore Business District.

The fit-out was delivered by interior specialists Sandell Group, which completed the Cat B project within eight weeks.

Designed with staff wellbeing and sustainability in mind, the new office includes collaborative workspaces, sit-stand desks, meeting rooms, focus areas and a dedicated wellbeing room.

The design was shaped by employee feedback, with almost 80 per cent of the Birmingham team contributing to a workplace survey used during the planning process.

Bosses say the move provides additional space for its 40-strong Birmingham team while supporting future growth plans.

The project was led internally by Workman partners Paul Stanley and Tom Bates, with Sandell Group managing the drawings and construction process.

Paul said: “It was a real opportunity to take a space from scratch and design it around the needs of the business. 

“We wanted somewhere people can collaborate, focus, and feel part of a growing team – a space that genuinely works for the way we work.

“All of that, combined with the green performance of 19 Cornwall Street, makes it the perfect base from which to grow our Birmingham team. 

“We’re really looking forward to our new chapter in the second city.”

Nissar Khan, head of business development at Sandell Group, added: “High-spec Cat B fit-outs are our speciality, and we knew Workman had high expectations given the sector they work in.

“By working carefully alongside Workman throughout the design process, we were able to come up with a final blueprint that fulfilled their vision on time and to an excellent standard.”
