Inside Food and Drink Federation’s Cool London Office

Food and Drink Federation, a membership organisation representing and advising UK food and drink manufacturers, hired workplace design firm Peldon Rose to design their new offices located in London’s Holborn district.

“FDF had been in their previous office since the 1980’s and their new workplace, located in 10 Bloomsbury Way, is a space that benefits and enhances the working lives of the FDF staff. Their search for a new office was an opportunity to modernise their identity and engage staff in the office redesign process.The goal for their new 7,500 sq ft office design was to promote better, more flexible ways of working for the FDF staff and to provide an excellent experience for their members. The office now provides a strong platform for FDF’s role within the food and drink industry in a functional, pleasant space. To best represent their staff and the work they do, we conducted a workplace assessment with staff at the heart of the process to learn more about how the business worked and the staff’s requirements for the space. With a more open, flexible office space, it was important to create small focus booths for staff. These allow them to hold private calls or work individually in a quieter space”, says Peldon Rose
