Comms Business – BT opens new flagship Sheffield office

The 7-storey, 65,000 sq ft Endeavor building will become the South Yorkshire base for up to 1,000 employees across all company functions, including its business and consumer divisions.

Staff from across the company have started moving into the building, based at the Sheffield Digital Campus.

The building will also become the main base for employees of Sheffield-founded Plusnet, which has been part of the BT Group since 2006.

BT revealed plans to take up residence at Endeavor in September 2022, with developers formally handing over the building to the company last August.

The building, which has been equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, has collaborative workspaces and a rooftop terrace. Endeavor is also part of BT Group’s Better Workplace programme.

Brent Mathews, property director at BT Group, said: “Sheffield is an important strategic location for BT Group and opening this office in the heart of the city allows us to provide a state-of-the-art building for our colleagues based here. .

“Our Better Workplace program was designed to ensure our colleagues work in future-proof buildings they can be proud of, and Endeavor perfectly embodies this.

“While the last few years have seen changes in working patterns and increased flexibility, offices remain an integral part of the way we work, enabling us to bring colleagues together to collaborate and support economic growth in our locations key.”

The opening of the new Sheffield site follows the multi-million pound refurbishment of BT Group’s Doncaster contact centre, which was completed in 2021.

BT Group employs more than 6,700 people across the region, including around 1,900 in Sheffield.
