giffgaff HQ moves to Beaconsfield

On Monday, the giffgaff team moved into new offices in the picturesque town of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. The building we’re in is a beautiful timber-framed converted rectory, in the heart of Beaconsfield Old Town and dates its origins back to the 16th Century.

 

We were previously based in O2's offices in Slough and the new environment will help us continue to develop our own strong sense of culture and identity. The biggest change is that we’ve gone from a large open-plan arrangement, to a number of creative spaces throughout the building. There are many excellent reasons for choosing Beaconsfield as our location, just look at our wonderful new neighbours such as Angelina Jolie, isn't that reason enough? :smileywink:

 

In the building there's a communal meeting room, kitchen (complete with awesome new coffee machine) and a welcome area where guests can work on sofas, in front of a grand fireplace. There's a very open and warm feel about the space and there's a real sense of how exciting it will be to work here. The team has been settling in and getting to know the town well, including the local pub (we can strongly recommend the food).

 

I’ve uploaded some pics, so you can check out giffgaff’s new home for yourself. As you'll see, we still need to 'giffgaff' it with branding and get some art on the walls, but at least we're in!

 

So, what do you think of our new digs?

Feel free to send us any housewarming presents.

Hi i love gg but you office look small with few staffs...have you just started this company? I really hope you stick around as long as i live but with small office and few staffs and good low call cost surely is it quite scarely that you might not be around.(finger cross that won't happened).SUE

Sue, Remember that GG doesn't need lots of staff because theyre not maintaining call centres, shops, and the like! Maybe o2 will forget it even exists and it'll blossom into it's own little micro-economy with a mayor and lots of oompaloompas. Or something.
