OSB Group invests for the long term with new energy efficient office

27 Aug 2024

Award-winning specialist lender, OSB Group, recently celebrated the opening of a new office building in Wolverhampton which will accommodate 364 colleagues and incorporates a host of energy efficiency measures and facilities including a multi-faith room, well-being centre and informal meeting areas.

The new building replaces the use of two smaller offices and brings together colleagues working across underwriting, sales and servicing to create an improved collaborative workspace all under one roof.

The group has committed to achieving net zero by 2030, and energy efficiency was an important consideration so the following features were integral:

Andy Golding, CEO, OSB Group said “We’re delighted to welcome colleagues to their new office space, some of whom have been actively involved throughout the project. These colleagues have helped to create an engaging working environment suiting their differing requirements as well as encouraging collaboration and creativity.

Our teams supporting brokers and their customers throughout the financing journey, will now be under the same roof making it easier to discuss cases and promote a joined-up servicing approach which further strengthens our commitment and support to our broker partners.”

Neil Richardson, Chief Sustainability Officer, OSB Group said “Exchange Court is a testament to the group’s commitment to our colleagues and the wider environment with the new space been developed to a Category A standard.

There’s been a strong emphasis on the use of eco-friendly materials throughout the project and we’ve minimised waste during construction, leading to 99% being recycled or recovered and avoided landfill. We’ve built a space that will serve us for the long term as well as minimising our carbon footprint.”
