The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), including BPEX and EBLEX, has completed the move into a newly constructed headquarters building, leased from LaSalle Investment Management, on Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.
The new accommodation means that the 325 AHDB staff at Stoneleigh Park are in one building for the very first time since the levy board was created in 2008 - they have been spread across three separate buildings on the science park.
Chairman of AHDB, Peter Kendall said: “This is another important step forward in helping to make AHDB a more cost-efficient and effective organisation for our levy payers.
“The building has delivered all the communication teams sitting together, all the R&D teams together, etc, for the first time in open plan working spaces – so there are no barriers to communication, helping to promote a more inclusive and open culture. And at no extra cost.”
The environmentally-friendly building has been designed to reflect AHDB’s needs and complement the rural setting of Stoneleigh Park with the use of local and natural materials.
All contact details such as postal address, telephone numbers and email addresses for AHDB and individual staff members remain unchanged.
