Inside Northgate’s Contemporary Reading Office

Northgate, one of UK’s largest commercial vehicle rental providers that allows businesses to hire light commercial vehicles on flexible length contracts, recently hired workplace design firm Area to design a new office for its sales team in Reading, England.

“Following a series of brief development sessions and design workshops with the client, a modern and openplan working environment was created. The space has been designed to attract talent, as well as enhance their existing culture, whilst also embracing new ways of working. Encouraging agile working, employees have access to a variety of working opportunities, including 1:1 meeting rooms, Skype rooms, part-open project pods, boardroom, and a large breakout space. Northgate’s new commercial hub in Reading is a new addition to its portfolio; already having an existing base in Darlington. Following the successful project completion, Area are now looking at additional work for Northgate including their office in Darlington”, says Area.
