Home to around 500 employees, global professional services company – Accenture, has created an innovative new hub at the Circle Square 2 workspace in Manchester.
Global professional services company, Accenture, has created an innovative new hub at the Circle Square 2 workspace in Manchester. The multi-sq-ft hub, situated in the landmark building and spread over three floors, will be home to around 500 employees who will be supporting Accenture’s clients in the Northwest region, allowing the business to expand into new projects across the UK and beyond.
Accenture has been located in Manchester for 30 years and this transition to Circle Square marks a significant moment in the organisations evolution. No.2 Circle Square is a joint venture between Bruntwood SciTech and Vita Group, creating market leading brands and dedicating spaces to the growth of science and technology.
Appointed by electrical contractor CSK Electrical, P&A Projects was to supply lighting features throughout the offices and meeting rooms. The brief was to provide a custom, alternative solution to the specified bespoke luminaires that met the requirements of the space.
P&A Projects supplied several custom oval pendant luminaires, bespoke linear rail luminaires, and various SubSpace 50 suspended linear luminaires varying in size from 1200mm to 2400mm.
The custom pendant fixtures were specified in RAL black, while the linear rail luminaires were finished in green with copper shades for a completely unique design that complemented the overall interior design vision.
Philip Ascroft, Managing Director at P&A Projects said: “We were excited to be part of this project, providing a fresh start for Accenture to grow their business in the North West. Circle Square is a forward-thinking venture which will provide the perfect location for Accenture to thrive. This was a brilliant opportunity for P&A Projects to demonstrate how our design and manufacturing capabilities provide bespoke lighting fixtures that meet the needs of each individual space and requirements.”
