FRONTLINE


Gold Medal headquarters


The offices were formerly the headquarters for truck manufacturer Leyland DAF. Employees’ mental health and wellbeing, as well as sustainability, were at the


forefront of the operator’s vision when selecting a site and developing the offices. A strong emphasis was placed on bright, open spaces, large windows and open-plan work spaces. Managers sit with other staff, promoting approachability. Even dnata’s Europe B2B chief executive John Bevan doesn’t have his own office.


There are breakout areas throughout, with tea rooms on each floor acting as a separate area for breaks. Staff are not allowed to eat lunch at their desks and encouraged to use the large canteen, which can be adapted for social


events and is subsidised. In the middle of the main atrium is a newly-built seating space, which sits above new meeting rooms on the ground floor (left). Each of the rooms is


sponsored by one of Gold Medal’s partners. They include: One&Only Resorts; Atlantis The Palm; Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts; Las Vegas Tourist Board; Virgin Atlantic; and
