BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK is relocating its West Midlands headquarters to a new office in Solihull. The company has secured a 25,000 sq ft space at the Air building in the town centre, where 800 staff will move in January 2025.
This relocation comes after a period of growth for the UK division of the French banking group, which specialises in consumer finance products. BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK has been based in Solihull for over 50 years and will be moving from its current premises at Chadwick House.
Chief executive Stephen Hunt commented that the move to the modern office space marks a significant milestone for the business. The new HQ will offer a flexible and efficient working environment, supporting the company’s more agile working approach.
The decision to remain in Solihull was also influenced by the company’s desire to reduce its carbon footprint. The new premises will contribute to BNP Paribas’ sustainability goals, a move praised by Solihull Council leader Ian Courts, who highlighted the continued attractiveness of the area for business investment.
The relocation supports the company’s ambitions for future development and collaboration while maintaining its long-standing presence in the region.
