Mobile technology agency Apadmi has signed the lease for another floor at its base in Anchorage, Salford Quays, to ensure staff returning to the office can work safely whilst maintaining space for planned growth.
The team is now more than 150 strong, with 30 more joining since the start of the year.
Developing their workplace to allow for continued collaboration alongside staff well-being, became a priority as soon as the impact of COVID-19 was clear.
Garry Partington, Apadmi’s CEO, explained: “This year’s brought a change that no one saw coming.
"Although we’ve always championed flexible and remote working opportunities, we’ve never had to do it for the entire company at once. We were all working from home for a couple of weeks before lockdown.
“I’m so proud of the way that the whole team quickly adapted, but now is the time to plan for the future.
"Whilst we’re still actively encouraging the team to stay at home for now, we want to make sure we’re ready for the next phase. Our team like to work together, so it’s important we find a way to do it safely.”
Apadmi has already kicked off the fit-out this month, designing the additional 4,500 sq ft of space to complement their 9th floor office in the same building that opened in February 2020.
“The additional new space will give us more room to safely and comfortably return to our new home at Anchorage, but also capacity to welcome new team members, as we continue to grow,” said Gary.
Apadmi have doubled in size in the last eighteen months, recently hiring Jasper van de Luijtgaarden as head of mergers and acquisitions and Andrew Smith as new business development director.
