Currys plc is permanently closing the doors of its west London HQ after signing a deal with flexible office space group WeWork, allowing its 1,400 staff to work from 50 locations across the country.

With its workforce steering away from the “old normal” way of working, the retailer is looking to shift to a more creative, agile workplace strategy that provides greater flexibility.

The deal is one of the first times that a major company has permanently closed its headquarters and switched entirely to a flexible office provider.
