Interaction completes project for leading software developer

Bath workplace designer Interaction has completed a project for award-winning software development company Ghyston.

To facilitate the expansion of the business, Interaction has created new future-proof offices for the Bristol firm, with staff wellbeing at the heart.

Founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife team Emily and Ric Hill, Ghyston delivers cutting-edge software solutions for businesses, employing around 60 people.

The firm’s new 8,300 sq ft workspace on the fifth floor of The Programme, Bristol’s curved office building in All Saints Street, has been designed by Interaction to reflect Ghyston’s innovative and fun image in the tech industry.

The new office, with its focus on employee wellbeing and building a happy community, features a video gaming room, large breakout area with a pool table and a fully-equipped kitchen where staff can cook lunch together.

It has also been designed to encourage collaborative working, with large open-plan desk space, informal meeting areas and breakout tables.

Ghyston Co-Founder Emily Hill said, “One of our core values is collaboration and working well together – and that’s exactly what our amazing new office space encourages.

“It has certainly exceeded our expectations on all levels. Interaction have taken our culture and transformed it into a productive working space that truly reflects who we are and how we work.”

Interaction’s Lauren Lloyd, who led the design project, added, “Ghyston have won many prestigious awards for their positive working culture, so it was crucial that their new workplace reflected this.

“They really understand the importance of providing a better workplace experience for their employees that blends work and wellbeing.”
