A new home for BT in Birmingham
Birmingham’s landmark Three Snowhill development will be BT’s primary new home in the city and provide a future-fit workplace for thousands of colleagues. The building, in the heart of the
city’s business district, will become a key hub with between 3,000 – 4,000 staff set to be based there eventually – more than five times the number of people currently based in Birmingham. BT will occupy the majority of floors in the 17-storey development, marking a major investment by the company in the UK’s second city. BT has acquired the lease and
plans to move colleagues in from the end of the year. The lease of Three Snowhill is part of BT’s ‘Better Workplace Programme’ – one of the largest workplace improvement and consolidation schemes of its type ever undertaken in the UK. The five-year programme will
improve and consolidate BT’s footprint of corporate offices, service centres, contact centres and specialist sites across the country. Graeme Paton, BT’s managing
director of property and facilities services, said it was an exciting development and a clear sign of BT’s commitment to Birmingham and the Midlands. He said: “Unveiling our new site
at Three Snowhill follows our announcement last year, when Birmingham was revealed as one of the first locations that will house our workplaces of the future. “The city was recently ranked
one of the most rapidly improving places to work in Britain and, thanks to securing this office space, we will become one of the largest employers in Birmingham with a visible presence in a strategic and important location. “Our new building in Birmingham
will bring our people together in an impressive and modern environment, transforming the way we work. Excitingly, it will become a strategic hub location for BT in the UK with a considerable increase in the number of colleagues we employ based in the city.” Paul Faulkner, chief executive of
Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, said: “It is wonderful

news that a company of BT’s stature has chosen to increase its presence in Birmingham by taking up a prime location in the heart of the city’s business district.”
“This is a further sign not only of Birmingham’s renaissance but also the growing confidence that exists within the city’s business community at present.”
