What makes your office unique?
We recently moved into brand new offices in the heart of Bristol. They’ve been designed to capture our great energy and enable us to collaborate with people and teams across the whole business – and we have an incredible roof terrace with stunning views across the city!
What are the advantages and disadvantages of working in Bristol?
Bristol is a beautiful city brimming with energy. We have theatres, concert halls, some of the best restaurants in the UK, great clubs, party places and green spaces. We lead the UK in sustainability activities and Bristol is also the home to many excellent media organisations, including Immediate! And we are only 68 minutes from London on the train. It’s a great place, with not too many disadvantages, although the local buses aren’t universally loved.
What’s your favourite spot to relax after work?
Bristol’s Harbourside is just a short walk from the office and has lots of great food and drink options, as well as the popular Watershed Independent Cinema.
