FinTech scale-up TotallyMoney has moved to new offices at Chapter House, a former Victorian school building close to Old Street’s Silicon Roundabout, in proximity to the financial giants of the City, and the forward-thinking tech hubs of Shoreditch.
The past 12 months have been full of success for the firm — reaching two million customers, securing a £29 million investment, and taking home Best Free Credit Report Provider at the Moneynet awards.
The move was spearheaded by TotallyMoney’s HR Manager, Felicity Winkley. Felicity ensured that every member of staff, from entry level to C-suite, got a say. She adds: “Moving in to a brand-new development meant we had a blank canvas to play with, and Thirdway (our fit-out agency) did an amazing job to help us realise the potential of the project.
“The result is a grown-up office, designed for work, but with a playful side — a library and a DJ booth; a bar and plenty of plants; spaces for quiet, solo working and spaces for collaboration.
“It feels very ‘us’, but at the same time, it’s an upgraded us — one that we can grow into over the next five years.”
The new office is almost double the size of the previous one, representing growth as both a company and a brand. With enough space to keep TotallyMoney on track with its growth plan.
Alastair Douglas, CEO of credit experts TotallyMoney, comments on the move: “It’s not just a new office, it’s the next step for TotallyMoney.
“The space is conducive to all the hard work that goes on day-to-day, as well as the cultural aspects of TotallyMoney that are central to who we are.
“We’re still close to the football pitches and sports centre for our lunchtime clubs. There’s room for yoga, board game nights, and industry meet-ups. Preserving these key parts of our company culture was paramount.
“The new office represents a massive leap forward for us, and for our customers. We’re on a mission to improve the UK’s credit score. The new space allows us to develop and grow our award-winning free credit report even further, so that we can continue to help our customers move on up to their goals.
“And, it’s great that we got the whole company involved in the process.”
