Spotless International Services chooses Westfield's Stratford place for new HQ

Facilities management firm Spotless International Services is to move its UK headquarters from Uxbridge to Westfield’s One Stratford Place office development. Spotless has taken 11,000 sq ft (1,022 sq m) of space on the eighth floor of the building on a new 10-year lease and will join existing occupiers Coral and London Legacy Development Corporation at the scheme.

Craig Lovett, UK chief executive and managing director of Spotless International services, said at the lease signing:
“The search for a new HQ inevitably focuses on factors such as people comforts, communications and transport links, quality of space and the sort of business community on offer. One Stratford Place scores highly in each of these areas, with Westfield providing the foundations for a new and genuine business district for London.

Our recent recruitment drive for our significant London Olympic Games involvement has seen us successfully attract over 40% of our total workforce from within the Stratford environs. We look forward to developing close ties with the local community, as well as continuing our business relationship with Westfield group.

Moving from one side of the capital to the other is clearly not a decision to take lightly, but the quality of the offer in Stratford makes this the best location from which to grow Spotless’ facilities management business in the UK.”

CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield advised Westfield.
