Our office move: what you need to know
Learn why the time is right for a transition from The Helicon to a smaller, more strategically located office.
When we created our Strategic Business Plan for 2024–25, we made a promise to continue supporting our members to intensify their impact. We’re dedicated to investing our time, expertise, and resources in the rail industry. And that commitment sometimes commands change.
It’s with that in mind that we inform you we’re nearing the end of our time at The Helicon. We’re preparing to move to a new office in November, and the space will better reflect the needs of our members.
We’ve seen many milestones in our time at 1 South Place, Moorgate, London. But, for a few reasons, it’s time start a new chapter—just down the road at 25 Fenchurch Avenue, London.
Conveniently located near Fenchurch Street station, the new premises stand prominently in the London’s bustling centre. This location will allow for enhanced industry collaboration, helping our members gather with their peers and continue their important work.
The new space at Fenchurch Avenue is also smaller than our Moorgate office, at just under 15k square feet. This downsizing allows us to economise and save approximately £400,000 a year on accommodation expenses.
We’ll be able to reinvest this saving to enrich the services we provide to our members and to further the advancement of the rail industry.
Rest assured, this reduction in size doesn’t mean a compromise in our facilities. We’re committed to retaining our current capacity for meeting and training rooms. We understand the importance of providing our visitors, who number over 1,500 a year, with an environment conducive to effective and cooperative work.
The new office space is designed to continue facilitating our groups and committees, as well as hosting our training attendees and other visitors. We’ll provide a sophisticated, fully equipped setting with facilities comparable with those at The Helicon. This will ensure a seamless transition.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new location at Fenchurch Avenue later this year.
