Crowe's Thames Valley office relocates

The successful growth of Crowe UK’s Thames Valley office sees the firm relocate to Reading’s prestigious ‘R+’ building, reaffirming its long-term commitment to the town and the region as a great place to do business.

Crowe UK’s Reading office doubling of its business over the last few years has necessitated the firm to relocate to the bigger 12,567sq. ft workspace on the fifth floor of the ‘R+’ building. The office has seen substantial growth across all aspects of its business including audit, tax, corporate finance, financial planning and business solutions for corporates of all sizes, pension funds, social purpose and not for profits, professional practices and private clients.

Working closely with the developer, Oval, the firm has embarked on a substantial ‘fit-out’ programme with enhanced technology to encourage independent and collaborative working for colleagues and clients. Facilities boast large open workspaces and a spacious 3,000 sq. ft. terrace area.

The relocation to R+ also supports Crowe to deliver on its sustainability commitments as the building includes roof-mounted solar panels, energy efficient LED lighting and an excellent energy efficiency rating, plus using energy from 100% renewable sources. Given its location, the building also promotes sustainable travel by being conveniently situated opposite Reading’s mainline train station as well as having secure bike storage and shower facilities.

The firm already employs over 50 graduates and apprentices in its Thames Valley office as part of its Early Careers recruitment programme and will welcome more trainees, including those through its established workplace secondment programme and the 10,000 Interns Foundation programme.
