Allianz unveils new Engineering, Construction and Power hub at Guildford head office
Allianz Insurance unveils new state of the art hub in Guildford, while finding a sustainable solution to the Liphook office closure
Allianz Insurance is proud to unveil a brand-new state of the art hub for Engineering, Construction and Power (EC&P) at its head office in Guildford.
Ready for use when company- wide return to office for employees is allowed, the new hub boasts exciting new virtual reality training equipment and collaboration spaces to encourage innovation, networking and professional development.
The new hub has:
- A specific EC&P ‘neighbourhood’ within the head office
- Collaboration & innovation spaces
- ‘Drop in’ desks to create a flexible working environment
- A dedicated training room for Engineer Surveyors
In September 2020, Allianz announced that it was closing its Liphook office and moving EC&P roles to the Guildford head office.
Chris Little, director of Engineering, Construction and Power said:
“It’s very exciting that the new EC&P hub in Guildford is now complete and having seen the work that’s been done, I am keen to get in and start utilising the area.
“We’re always looking at how we can improve our offering for partners, customers and employees and this move to Guildford should strengthen EC&P. The new hub will allow our already successful team to push on and move up to that next level.”
Sustainability is a key focus for Allianz globally and after the Liphook office closure, Allianz Insurance partnered with two organisations, Kinnarps and Waste to Wonder, to ensure a sustainable solution for the clearance of all furniture and equipment. All of the furniture was successfully donated to charities, both locally and further afield, with some being used to support education programmes in Romania and Cameroon.
