Costing £2 million and featuring a slide and a treehouse, an empty industrial unit has been transformed into the new headquarters of a flooring company.
Woodpecker Flooring’s new offices at its base on Pantglas Industrial Estate in Bedwas, also features a gym and several communal areas for workers, and the company’s first on-site showroom for the public.
The two-storey space is just 500 yards from Woodpecker’s distribution centre and previous offices. Designed by fit-out company OEG, it is decked out with many of Woodpecker’s natural woods on the floors and walls.
Chairman Nelson Ker said: “The new Woodpecker offices and showroom combine a truly wonderful experience for both our great team who live, breath and sleep the Woodpecker brand, and our customers who can come and experience the Woodpecker atmosphere.
“Staff and visitors can be surrounded by the product in use, in a naturally inspired environment where they’re able to touch and feel the woods, receive training and develop an understanding of not only the floor but where it’s come from.
“It has taken us almost two years to achieve but we now have a workplace which reflects every aspect of our values.”
Managing Director of Woodpecker Darwyn Ker added: “This workspace is like no other, providing a truly inspirational space to both showcase the Woodpecker collections and for our team to operate from.
“As our global headquarters, it sets the bar and displays the true Woodpecker heart.”
