ADT Workplace was awarded the project to transform the Uber-owned Autocab's office space into a modern, dynamic environment.
This office transformation marked a significant milestone, showcasing our commitment to delivering innovative and functional workspaces. The goal was to create a space that fosters collaboration, enhances productivity, and reflects Autocab’s brand identity.
Autocab, a leading provider of private hire and taxi booking software, sought to create a new headquarters that would not only reflect its innovative approach but also support its growing team.
This project required a detailed understanding of Autocab’s operational needs and corporate culture, ensuring that the new space would be both functional and inspiring. Our Autocab project encompassed a substantial 20,000 sq.ft area and was completed within a 16-week timeline.
The design phase focused on understanding Autocab’s needs and incorporating their brand elements into the workspace. We utilised vibrant colours and modern furniture to create an inviting atmosphere. The layout was designed to promote open communication and flexibility, essential for a tech-driven company like Autocab.
Key features of the office fit-out include:
Open-plan work areas: These areas encourage collaboration and team interaction, essential for a collaborative workplace.
Private meeting rooms: Equipped with advanced AV technology, these rooms support confidential discussions and virtual meetings.
Breakout zones: These spaces offer employees a place to relax and recharge, enhancing overall well-being.
Innovative technology integration: The office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to support Autocab’s operations, reflecting an innovative office design.
The use of open-plan work areas was particularly effective in fostering a sense of community and collaboration among the Autocab team. This layout, combined with the private meeting rooms, ensured that there were spaces for both collaborative and focused work. Breakout zones provided much-needed areas for relaxation, helping to boost employee morale and productivity.
One of the main challenges was ensuring that the project was completed within the 16-week timeline. However, our team’s efficient planning and execution ensured the project was delivered on time, without compromising on quality. We also implemented sustainable practices throughout the project, aligning with our commitment to environmental responsibility.
The transformation of Autocab’s office has been highly successful. Feedback from the Autocab team has been overwhelmingly positive, with significant improvements noted in both productivity and employee satisfaction. The new modern workspace not only meets the functional needs of the company but also enhances its corporate image.
The success of this office transformation can be attributed to the close collaboration between ADT Workplace and Autocab. By understanding Autocab’s needs and working closely with their team, we were able to deliver a space that exceeded their expectations.
"We worked on this project for over a year with the wonderful team at ADT Workplace, who were an absolute dream to work with. The team coped with our last-minute changes and became an extension of the Autocab family. We cannot wait to cement ourselves into the city centre and continue to grow Autocab together in our gorgeous new space – something the full team can be very proud of!" Lucy Sunner, Head of Culture at Autocab.
