“Our company has used Cushman & Wakefield for more services since our move in”
Epoch’s first London office needed a highly resilient infrastructure. The Australian company wanted the kind of reliable power supply and instant connectivity to support large volumes of trading.
Furthermore, they wanted to set up in a territory not usually associated with finance – somewhere trendy and exciting.
The 2,500 sq ft space in Whitfield Street was acquired, with additional internet suppliers built into the contract. Throughout the entire process the client was based remotely in Australia, and Epoch are now well established in the West End’s famous shopping and lifestyle district.
When we were looking for a new and bespoke office in London from such a distance it was always going to be a challenge but Andrew Marshall took care of everything. He understood our requirements and provided comprehensive summaries with photos of any property that met our criteria.
“When we had a final list he made it easy to view these properties in a short period, enabling us to find the right space in a perfect location. Andrew and the team at Cushman’s also helped with vendor negotiations and finding a great project team for our fit-out.
