We are excited to share the news that our company has relocated to 2 Minster Court, a stunning and strategically located office complex in the City of London. This move marks an exciting milestone for us as we position ourselves for continued growth and expansion. Not only does the new location bring us closer to many of our clients, but it also provides our team with a modern, spacious environment filled with amenities that are perfectly suited to our evolving needs.
Architectural Significance of Minster Court
Minster Court, designed by the GMW Partnership and completed in the early 1990s, is one of London's most distinctive office buildings. Its postmodern-Gothic architecture sets it apart from the more minimalist and rectilinear structures in the financial district. The building is clad in polished rose granite and features a variety of sharp angles and gabled rooftops, which evoke the grandeur of Gothic cathedrals. This iconic structure consists of three separate office buildings that combine to provide over a million square feet of space. The architectural style has raised eyebrows since its completion due to its bold deviation from traditional office building designs, yet it remains one of the area’s most recognizable landmarks.
The building’s most famous feature, aside from its architecture, is the set of three life-sized bronze horse sculptures that stand proudly in the forecourt. Created by artist Althea Wynne, these horses—nicknamed “Dollar,” “Yen,” and “Sterling”—symbolize Minster Court’s historical and modern connections to the financial world. The building’s exterior has also made appearances in pop culture, most notably as Cruella De Vil's fashion house in the live-action adaptation of 101 Dalmatians.
Why Minster Court?
One of the key reasons behind our decision to move was proximity to clients. Over 80% of our clients are within walking distance, meaning that face-to-face meetings will be more accessible and frequent. Minster Court’s prime location, just minutes from key transport hubs like Fenchurch Street, Monument, and Bank, provides excellent connectivity, making it easier for both clients and staff to reach us.
We also sought a space that could provide the modern amenities and flexibility our team deserves. The building offers 24/7 access, which aligns with our operational needs. In addition, it provides high-quality amenities such as secure cycle storage, shower and locker facilities, and even access to fitness and wellness services. These amenities play a vital role in improving the well-being of our staff, ensuring they have everything they need to maintain a healthy work-life balance while staying productive in the workplace.
The Right Space for Growth
After spending six years at our Old Street office, the expiration of our lease provided the perfect opportunity to re-evaluate our needs. While our Old Street location served us well, we recognized that it was time to find a space that could better support the future growth of our business. The move to Minster Court is more than just a change of address; it’s a strategic decision to secure an office that offers us the agility to expand quickly without being tied into long-term leases. As our business continues to grow, we needed a space that could accommodate new team members, evolving operations, and an ever-increasing client base.
At Minster Court, we have access to larger office spaces that offer greater flexibility. The additional square footage provides us with room to host events, meetings, and collaborative sessions, all while maintaining the privacy and security required for day-to-day business activities. The complex also includes spaces for corporate gatherings and social events, enabling us to build a stronger company culture and engage with our clients on a more personal level.
Looking Ahead
As we settle into our new home at 2 Minster Court, we look forward to the opportunities this move will bring. With the additional space and amenities, our team is equipped to work more efficiently and with greater comfort. The proximity to clients allows us to strengthen relationships and foster closer collaboration, while the flexibility of the new space ensures that we are prepared for future expansion as our business continues to grow.
We invite our clients, partners, and friends to visit us at our new location. Whether for a business meeting or simply a tour of the new office, we’d love to show you around Minster Court and share our excitement about this new chapter in our journey. Stay tuned for upcoming events and updates as we continue to make the most of our beautiful new office space!
