A fond farewell to Market Place

By Victoria Fox

With all the new talent joining AAR, we needed a new home. After 35 years at 26 Market Place, making the call to move to new offices was an enormous decision. And saying goodbye to AAR Towers after hosting thousands of screening meetings, credentials sessions and pitch wash-ups, not to mention housing 34 Christmas Trees (we’re not over COVID breaking that record!) will be an emotional moment for many of us.

The pandemic has forced all of us to reassess the way we work, and what we require from an office space in the future. Like many others, we need a more flexible and collaborative working area, capable of offering private and communal space in a contemporary setting. A space that will complement our new cross-functional working methods as traditional siloes break down in a post-COVID world.

So, we’ve chosen a wonderful new space within walking distance of Oxford Circus, in Wimpole Street W1. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new home from mid January 2022.

In the meantime, can the last person out of Market Place please turn the lights out. ■
