Hays has signed up to lease 7,500sq ft office space in Cardiff’s Callaghan Square development.
The recruitment giant has agreed a deal with MEPC for 5 Callaghan Square, which is to be the company’s new head office in Wales.
In so doing it joins the likes of Centrica, Network Rail and Deloitte in the office development that totals some 165,000sq ft over three buildings.
Mark Seymour, Hays country director of Wales, told the Western Mail: “Moving to such a prestigious new Welsh head office is a clear commitment to give our staff a better working environment.
“This is also an investment in Wales because we foresee long term growth in jobs and business here.”
Gary Carver, director at Savills, said: “The location is obviously appealing to Hays and it will enable them to improve the quality of the office they have in Cardiff, thus further enhancing their image and profile.”
The 5 Callaghan Square building comprises 54,000 sq ft of grade A office space and is one of eight business estates in prime locations currently managed by MEPC.
MEPC’s portfolio includes Elmwood in Chineham Business Park, Basingstoke, Building 100 at Oxfordshire’s Milton Business Park and Kelvin Gate and the Hillington Business Park in Glasgow.
