Newly renovated and expanded UK office solidifies SmartBear commitment to Bath community
SmartBear, a leading provider of software development and visibility tools, is hosting an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony at its new central Bath, UK office next week on Tuesday, 15th November.
To bolster company culture and collaboration for its employees in Bath, SmartBear increased its office footprint to occupy 7,000 square feet with the potential to double its employee headcount.
The new office includes a large boardroom, updated audio visual equipment for several new meeting rooms, game area, and a collaboration area to come together for work or fun. A decade ago, an office was opened in Bath by application stability management pioneer, Bugsnag (which was acquired by SmartBear in 2021).
Commercial interiors specialists Paramount completed the new office with an emphasis on collaboration to support SmartBear’s growth across Europe. The main purpose of this location is software development, providing developer visibility for millions of users worldwide.
The Mayor of Bath, Councillor Rob Appleyard is scheduled to speak at the event. Other speakers include: Kevin Mashford, Director at Paramount; Maureen Plowman, Senior Vice President, Brand & Corporate Communications from SmartBear Headquarters in Somerville, Massachusetts; Nikki Morcom, Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition & Culture at SmartBear in the UK, and Dan Faulkner, Chief Product Officer at SmartBear.
Dan said, “We are proud to continue the investment the Bugsnag team began 10 years ago, bringing everyone together into an expanded space that cultivates exceptional employee experiences and truly reflects our SmartBear brand, values, and culture. We look forward to continuing our commitment to ethical corporate practices and social responsibility, promoting good in the vibrant community of Bath. Our deepest thanks to Paramount, a true partner throughout the entire renovation process, for this beautiful space that will become the gold standard for SmartBear offices around the world.”
The re-opening of the Bath office brings the team into a larger SmartBear branded facility and coincides with expansions of the company’s headquarters in Somerville, Massachusetts. It will be followed by other SmartBear global office expansions in 2023 as the company continues to scale and grow.
The open house will take place on Tuesday, 15th November, 2022, 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m at Ground Floor, Royal Mead Railway Place, Bath BA1 1SR.
