Rock Townsend’s Berghaus HQ, part of the Pentland Group of brands, was awarded the BCO’s NextGen Choice Award for Innovative Fit-out on Tuesday night.
The BCO’s inaugural NextGen Awards come as part of its programme to mentor and encourage the next generation of professionals to become future leaders in the industry, whilst providing a platform for new talent to share ideas.
Berghaus HQ picked up the NextGen Choice Award for Innovative Fit Out for its major rejuvenation, transforming an unloved building on an industrial estate into a modern and stimulating working environment. The brand’s ethos, ‘Live for Adventure’, is reflected in solutions such as a climbing rope staircase, Base-Camp themed social space and innovative garment ‘sky rail’. BCO NextGen members described the building as ‘bringing the outdoors in’, and praised its innovative design and multipurpose ground floor space.
Berghaus HQ also won the award for Best Fit Out of a Workplace at the BCO National Awards in October.
“The Berghaus HQ has been an outstanding success, having allowed a dedicated local employer to remain in its existing location so it can continue to boost the economic prospects of the area. Not only was it chosen by NextGen members for the Innovative Fit Out award, it was also commended at this year’s BCO National Awards. This demonstrates the impact the development has had, and the respect it summons within the industry at all levels.”
