Good Energy, the 100% renewable power company, has received an official Decision Notice from Wiltshire Council to start work on its new headquarters.
The decision follows a positive approval from the council’s strategic planning committee last month to go ahead with the project.
This latest seal of approval means the company can start the next phase of its work on the project. This comes in two parts; first, the internal design work will draw out the spaces where employees will work every day. Good Energy has appointed Bath-based Interaction to design the new office space.
Physical works are also due to take place on the site over the next month. This includes preliminary digging to prepare the area for construction work later this year.
Fran Woodward, Good Energy’s Director of People & Culture, said: “We are delighted to receive the council’s backing to build our new headquarters. The decision secures our long-term future in Chippenham, our home for the past 20 years.
“Our partnership with local companies, such as Interaction, will mean the project can now come to life over the coming months.”
Dieter Wood, Interaction’s managing director, commented: “We’re delighted to be working alongside Good Energy, to design and deliver a workspace that will truly reflect the culture and aspirations of such an innovative company.
“The design is well underway, and consultation with employees across the company has helped to shape the concepts so far – with emphasis on an agile, healthy, and sustainable provision that will benefit employee, customer and contractors alike.”
The completed headquarters is slated for completion in late 2020.
