Mace Interiors completes fit out for BMI offices in Cannon Street

BMI Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest private hospital groups, is improving communication between its corporate teams, has reduced its carbon footprint and is now benefiting from lower accommodation bills with a move to new offices – delivered by Mace Interiors alongside Mace’s cost consultancy team.

The group’s previous head office was arranged across six floors of 3 Paris Garden, Southwark, London. The move to 30 Cannon Street, between St Pauls Cathedral and Bank Station, now sees all corporate departments working together on one level, over 11,688 sq ft of space, with an improved layout designed to optimise a positive working environment.

The availability of new technologies and systems has changed how BMI Healthcare staff can work – using shared workspaces, flexible meeting areas and informal spaces to support working in ad-hoc teams.

The head office teams include information technology, human resources, finance, public relations and communications, national and digital marketing, clinical support, analysis, supply chain, procurement, legal and business operations. Unlike the previous head office arrangement, people in each department now have clear sight to the others on one floor, with associated reduction in silo working to provide a stronger matrix of support for BMI’s hospitals and clinics in England, Scotland and Wales.

Chief Executive Officer Karen Prins said:

 “As a company, we are committed to providing the best possible care for our patients – it is important that our head office teams work together as effectively and efficiently as possible if we are to support our hospitals in the best way that we can.”

Managing Director of Mace Interiors, Stewart Ward said:

"Wellbeing and sustainability were at the heart of our plan for BMI’s new office fit out. The interior layout and design are aimed at creating a great and positive environment for BMI’s corporate teams and we are delighted to have made such a positive contribution to BMI’s workspace vision.”
