ACCA Announces Move to New London Offices

Today, ACCA has announced plans to relocate its London headquarters from its current location in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Holborn, London, to newly refurbished office space within the historic Adelphi building, John Adam Street, London.

Commenting on the move, Helen Brand, ACCA’s Chief Executive said:

“Since 1996, our London operations have been spread across a number of locations in Holborn. Over time, this arrangement has become increasingly unfit for purpose.”

According to Helen Brand, central to the move is creating an efficient, collaborative, future-proof workplace designed to enable ACCA people to fulfil their potential which in turn will help ACCA achieve its ambitious strategy for the future.

“This historic building will be undergoing a complete refurbishment over the coming months to provide us with the mix of heritage and modernity that defines the ACCA brand.

“Our new home will provide us with a dynamic, inspiring and sustainable workplace to which we will be proud to welcome our staff, students, members, partners and other stakeholders from around the globe – a world class London headquarters that befits our world class organisation.”

On 8 May, ACCA signed a lease for two floors at The Adelphi, John Adam Street, London. The move will take effect in December 2015, with staff being welcomed into the new building in January 2016.
