What happens there?
The new office was unveiled at the end of last year, overseen by Atul Bansal of Sheila Bird Group and delivered in partnership with Bruntwood Works. The space was dreamt up by Social Chain’s team to create the ultimate playground for millennials with collaborative working at its core and features a slide, ball pit, bar and cascading waterfall.
The company prides itself on nurturing young talent and helping staff to build a solid career in an industry that is constantly evolving, championing flexible working and a strong ‘work hard, play hard’ attitude.

Think your workspace is wonderful?
Workplaces across the North are changing. For many, the physical changes are to encourage a cultural change, with more pressure being put on businesses to consider the wellbeing of employees. Whether your office has recently been refurbished, it’s beautifully designed, or it’s just vastly different from a typical office, we want to hear from you. Our Where We Work feature is a visual piece so any submissions will need to include HD photos. To find out more, please email Josh.
