CMC Markets

When CMC Markets, a global leader in online trading, asked us to transform their Whitechapel workplace, we knew we were embarking on a thrilling challenge. We needed to reflect their updated brand and re-engage employees post-pandemic. Originally planned as a three-phase refurbishment, the project evolved into six phases following last-minute changes, requiring agility and coordination.

Leveraging Space for Growth

We tackled the in-situ refurbishment by minimising disruption for employees by scheduling noisy activities for evenings and weekends, while plastic sheeting sealed off active work areas containing dust and noise. The workspace was transformed into an inviting environment by the deep blue of CMC Markets’ new brand colour, woven throughout the space, guiding you through the workspace and creating a cohesive visual experience. Pendant lighting, LED strips integrated into acoustic wall panels in the phone booths, and vinyl wood flooring create a sophisticated and modern environment.

Capitalising on Collaboration

Completed within 22 weeks, this phased approach delivered a sophisticated and functional workspace that balances high-spec finishes with practical solutions. The transformation supports CMC Markets’ evolving brand identity and provides employees with an inspiring, efficient environment to work and collaborate.
