Equifax moves to new sustainable office in Nottingham city centre

Equifax moved into a new office in the heart of Nottingham city centre this week, with a ceremonial ribbon cutting by the Sheriff of Nottingham, Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos on the 9 August.

The move will see 300 colleagues who work in the existing TDX Group office on Fletcher Gate move to new Equifax office space in the EastWest building.

Equifax’s move was motivated by the workspace’s impressive environmental credentials, with high-standard glazing, lighting, heating and ventilation.

Equifax’s new office is expected to reduce the company’s energy consumption in Nottingham by more than 30%, contributing to the wider goal of net-zero emissions by 2040.

The net-zero commitment is enabled by Equifax’s move to the cloud.

As part of the pledge, Equifax is implementing a large number of environmental schemes including recycling initiatives, discounts to local cafes to encourage fewer food miles and transport incentives.

The office offers new cycling facilities, showers and lockers, to encourage cycle-to-work schemes, boosting Equifax’s environmental credentials.

The EastWest building has undergone a £5 million redevelopment over the past year and Equifax has taken 19,045 sq ft across the entire 5th floor of the huge office development on Maid Marian Way.

CEG and Incognito created a bespoke fit for Equifax, equipped with all the latest technology, while the specially designed open-plan layout embraces flexible working methods, with additional break-out spaces to encourage and facilitate collaborative working.

Equifax’s new office will encourage a collaborative and productive working environment for employees, boosting hybrid working and top-level acoustic separation and absorption in our more confidential spaces so you can work unhindered.

Patricio Remon, President for Europe at Equifax, said:

It’s fantastic to be opening our new state-of-the-art offices in Nottingham. We’ve been part of the business landscape in Nottingham since 2004 when TDX first started and I’m positive that with this new working environment for our team, we’ll enjoy many more years of success.

“Nottingham is a great base to keep growing our European business and it is an honour to have the Sheriff, Councillor Quddoo, here to open our office.

“We look forward to welcoming new employees and our many clients and partners to this new and inspiring workspace.”

Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos, the Sheriff of Nottingham, said:

“I’m pleased to be part of helping Equifax to welcome colleagues into their new and vibrant home in our city centre.

“Nottingham city is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2028 and to be the first UK city to achieve this. We will deliver that not only through our own City Council initiatives but also through the commitment of organisations such as Equifax within our city.”
