Interaction designs new HQ for L&C Mortgages at Bath’s Newark Works

L&C Mortgages, the UK’s largest fee-free broker, is moving to a brand new, tailor-made office in the Newark Works development on the Bath Quays.

Created by Bath-based workplace design company Interaction, the premises marks a new chapter for L&C and underlines its position as the key provider of fee-free mortgage advice to homebuyers, homeowners and landlords across the UK.

The move sees L&C leave Beazer House, its base for more than 20 years where over 450 staff members are employed. L&C also operates an office in Newcastle, which made a change of address earlier this year. The new offices, both created by Interaction, have been chosen for their ability to offer L&C and its employees everything that is required of the modern workplace and to accommodate the era of flexible and hybrid working patterns.

The new HQ in Bath provides 4,864sq ft of adaptable office space for both focussed and collaborative working. 

Interaction also designed the communal spaces at Newark Works including a centrepiece bar and entrance area to foster community between tenants, creating a destination hub for Bath’s creative businesses.

Commenting on the move to Newark Works, Alan Young, Chief Executive Officer at L&C said, “As a major employer in Bath and the surrounding areas, it’s vital for us to retain our central position in the city. Newark Works is an exciting new development that fits the needs of our business as we continue in our drive to ensure that UK mortgage holders get the very best advice without having to pay a fee.

“Our colleagues enjoy the flexibility of hybrid working and we’re sure that Newark Works will give us the very best environment to ensure that continues. Working with Interaction has allowed us to develop a bespoke space and environment in which we’re sure our colleagues will thrive, as we drive for future growth as the key provider of mortgage and protection advice in the UK.”

Interaction’s Managing Director, Dieter Wood, said, “L&C are a great local success story so we were super excited to be asked to design their new headquarters in Bath.

“It will provide them with the flexible workspace they need to support hybrid working while helping to nurture a sense of community and greater collaboration. We wish them continued success in their fantastic new home.”
