Fit-out complete at recruitment firm's new Spinningfields base

A fit-out at the Manchester office of recruitment firm Oliver James Associates is now complete.

The global agency’s new base at No. 1 Spinningfields was given a full makeover by interiors firm Penketh Group.

The space includes a bench desk area, work café, breakout zones, director offices, meeting rooms, boardroom and storage facilities.

Oliver James Associates employs a team of 120 in the city.

Shannen Doherty, operations executive at the recruitment company, said: “We were extremely impressed with the service provided by Penketh Group. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris and the team, and they delivered a seamless installation from start to finish.

“Our people are enjoying their new workplace, which is a dynamic space full of positive energy, and we are already proudly showing it off.”

Penketh Group has offices in Manchester and the Wirral.

Chris Birchall, workplace designer at Penketh Group, commented: “We were delighted to work with the team at Oliver James Associates to help create a workspace that promotes productivity and gives people the space and freedom they need to work effectively.

“Using our extensive toolkit of designers, brands and products, we were able to develop a solution that perfectly complements the Oliver James brand while bringing a breath of fresh air and we’re thrilled with the end result.”

The project team included Zero Space, which was appointed to draw up plans, and Denton Associates, which conducted the fit-out.
