    This relocation signifies a significant departure, aimed at fostering a more compact, multifunctional workspace that diverges from the traditional office setup, catering to the demands of hybrid working models and fostering a sense of excitement about office attendance. The move reflects a strategic commitment to aligning with modern work practices while nurturing a workplace culture that thrives on collaboration and adaptability.

    JTI’s new office space in Putney is designed not just as a workplace but as a vibrant community hub, encouraging spontaneous interactions and fostering a sense of belonging among team members. The ground floor, serving as the central hub, boasts a welcoming bar area, flexible meeting spaces, and an inviting atmosphere conducive to creativity and collaboration.

    Meanwhile, the upper floors are meticulously crafted to maximize functionality, with versatile director offices doubling as meeting spaces and a rooftop terrace providing a sanctuary for relaxation and outdoor work.

    Sustainable design elements, wellness amenities, and a thoughtfully curated aesthetic imbue the workspace with a sense of tranquility and energy, creating an environment where employees can thrive both personally and professionally.
