BNP Paribas Personal Finance is set to relocate 800 staff to a new UK headquarters in Solihull town centre.
From January 2025, the finance provider will move to AIR on Homer Road in Solihull, a 25,000 sq ft office offering provisions for wheelchair access, noise sensitivity, religious practices, accessible furnishing, colour blindness, a free on-site gym, collaborative work zones, and more.
BNP Paribas Personal Finance has created more than 6,000 jobs across the UK with many based in the Solihull, where it has resided for over 50 years.
The move enables the firm to boost its environmental, social and governance commitments, with AIR having an EPC rating of B, and it is hoped it will later improve this to an A rating with the introduction of government support for industrial heat pump installations.
Other features include solar panels to power all communal areas of the building, low tariff commitments which will ensure sustainable energy usage, and provisions for electric vehicle charging on-site.
