The big idea

What does a growth-hungry accountancy practice with a huge cohort of new apprentices need? The answer: a Claremont-designed workplace full of energised collaborative experiences, true to its environmental values and rich in wellbeing and flexibility at every turn.

Nailing the brief

Spurred on by sustained growth, a flurry of new appointments and a dedication to shaping a socially responsible and sustainable future, MHA was keen for its refurbished workspace to align with its team’s hybrid habits. As the firm was expanding its footprint, from the whole fourth floor and half of the sixth, to include all of the sixth floor, the Mosley Street office also needed to blend seamlessly as one.

We nailed the brief by making our design rich in choice and variety. Individual work pods, team booths, and flexible group settings cater to everyone and, in particular, offer the collaborative and social spaces Gen Z graduates and recruits expect!

Creating a helpful ESG report at the start of the project informed our whole approach, too. We designed out waste from the get-go, specified environmentally friendly products and finishes, and crucially, recycled as much waste as possible.

We’re super proud to say we reused 70% of MHA’s existing furniture on this project – plus we diverted 98% of site waste from landfill and sent 428 kg of old floor tiles to ReStart, a take-back and recycling programme, saving the equivalent of over half a tonne of CO2 emissions.

The final result

Impactful, sustainable and flexible—MHA’s newly extended Manchester office has plenty of appeal for its growing team. Plus, the space is already helping the firm attract the brightest and best.

Our design oozes variety, empowering MHA’s team to choose the work settings they need to thrive and proving that environmental responsibility doesn’t ever need compromise design!

“Claremont shared our commitment to sustainability from the outset and helped us prove that taking your environmental responsibilities seriously doesn’t have to compromise design. The finished space is excellent. It is fit for purpose and supports our people while also reflecting our values. Our team can now choose how, when and where they work and enjoy a space that reflects our energy and culture as we continue to grow.”
