Case Study: Sanlam achieves a cohesive, agile Bristol workspace with Oktra

Sanlam delivers a 20,000 sq ft Bristol workspace in 10 weeks with Oktra

Financial services group Sanlam faced the challenge of relocating its Bristol office to a single floor to break down silos and create a more cohesive workspace that matched the standard of its recently refurbished London location. The company engaged workplace design and build vendor Oktra to handle the fit-out, drawing on the same design principles used in the capital.

Oktra implemented a clean, slick design for the L-shaped floorplate, creating an open plan layout with breakout spaces, a variety of meeting rooms with folding walls for flexibility, and a professional client journey. The solution successfully encouraged cross-departmental communication and provided staff with a workspace that supports their wellbeing. Oktra achieved Sanlam’s vision of an agile workplace that can simplify and harmonize people practices across both its Bristol and London offices.
