Vitality has relocated more than 1,000 employees to its new office at 3 Stockport Exchange.

The 46,000 sq ft workspace was designed and delivered by Peldon Rose in partnership with Vitality. 

The office is spread across four floors and includes features like natural light, planting, sit-stand desks, social areas and a range of collaborative and focused working spaces. 

The aim is to promote health, wellbeing and productivity.

The top floor in Stockport includes an employee café and restaurant, sunken seating, a colour-changing light tunnel and a textile-inspired ceiling.

The design also includes references to Stockport’s history, with archway motifs inspired by the viaduct and materials linked to its textile heritage.

Workspaces include quiet rooms, prayer and family rooms, refreshment areas and spaces for collaboration. 

The layout is designed to encourage movement and promote use of stairs to help employees remain active.

“Working together, we evolved the brief to ensure health and wellbeing was prioritised throughout each detail and reflected Vitality’s core value and culture.”

James added: “The final design feels uniquely aligned to Stockport’s history and Vitality’s spirit, creating a genuine sense of place for the team, and we can’t wait to see the space being used as they make this their new home.”

Luke McClaran, group CPO at Vitality, said: “Our offices play an important role in shaping the employee experience and the way we work, so it was important that our new Stockport workspace reflected our wider commitment to health, wellbeing and connection.

“Through our partnership with Peldon Rose, we have been able to create a consistent design approach across our office locations, ensuring each space supports a positive and cohesive working environment while still reflecting the character of its local community.”
