Colleagues in our South West hub celebrate a move in the heart of Bristol's productive tech cluster

The move to Castlemead – known as the tallest building in the city, provides the team a happy and engaging environment in which to thrive.

Centrally located on the 11th floor of Castlemead has sweeping views over Bristol’s culturally diverse city, whilst being close to the city’s amenities and transport links, offering a perfect location for all of our ambitious trailblazers.

Darren Buckle, COO who heads up the Bristol hub said, “this move will be critical to advancing our technologies for a smarter, safer world. Working in collaboration with our UK Cambridge headquarters and with colleagues in the USA, we look forward to continued operational and commercial success in both the automotive and mobile sectors. Investment in people is a critical component of our strategy”.

The interior space has been closely aligned to the FocalPoint story. We celebrate the success stories from 3 incredible women:

  • Margaret Hamilton who led the NASA Software Team that landed Astronauts on the moon

  • Patricia Doherty, Senior Research Scientist at Boston College’s Institute for Scientific Research, who worked tirelessly to increase the participation of women in global navigation satellite systems and space science research

  • Zara Rutherford, the youngest woman to fly solo around the world

Continuing to promote the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion, these inspirational women will continue to inspire us, as we honour their achievements in naming our meeting rooms after them. Catering for every need, colleagues can collaborate in a variety of meeting zones including formal meeting spaces to places conducive to inspiring creativity.
