BBC Media Village, White City, London, UK

Design champion, ensuring quality and consistency

‘A happy workforce is a productive workforce’. The BBC aspires to be “the most creative organisation in the world” and requires its property strategy to support this aspiration.

Innovations in working practices have brought about a flexible and enjoyable working environment. Extensive staff consultation was conducted, with individual departments customising their own environments. Paul Cayford also managed the relationships between the BBC, the architect Allies & Morrison, and interior designers, DEGW and Tilney Shane.

“The BBC Media Village at White City... is path-breaking, not only for the design for UK companies, but leading edge companies across the world – congratulations.” Professor Richard Scase - author, academic and entrepreneur - is one of the UK's leading business strategists.
