Pelican has a new home

CULTURE

Francesca Fowler, Human Resources Business Partner, welcomes you to our new office

At the end of February 2021 our time on the Tanshire Business Park in Elstead came to an end. After 10 years, we were sad to close the doors, but also excited to open a new chapter in Pelican’s history.

We are delighted to share that we have now moved to a modern, spacious 10,000 square foot office at Ascent 4, Farnborough Aerospace Centre, Farnborough GU14 6XN.

Growth in the business led the decision to move from Elstead, as we were running out of space. We were really selective when it came to choosing the right workplace for the Pelican team - as we wanted to continue working together well in an inspiring and motivating space that supports our culture and delivers our best to our clients. We also had an eye on choosing a location that is easy to access for our clients. Farnborough was chosen after a number of locations were explored with the Pelican team, to ensure the new offices met our needs. In partnership with our external contractor, we have spent the last few months designing, creating and building an engaging new work environment.

Most of the office is open plan creating a clean, modern look ready for 2021 and beyond. In addition to normal meeting rooms, we have a number of informal pods, collaboration spaces and a wellbeing room. Plus, we have installed a new professional kitchen area that works well for our employees to enjoy their lunch - doubling up as a great cookery demonstration station for development chefs to showcase products directly to our clients.

The office is located in the recently refurbished Ascent 4 complex building, adjacent to Farnborough airport. We were the first tenant to move in and are in the process of making the office COVID secure, so we can in due course welcome employees back to the new space in a safe and controlled manner.

It’s conveniently located close to the A31 and M3 and is easy to access from both the south or London, being close to the Farnborough and Farnborough North train stations. The business park will offer a café as well as many other amenities to welcome employees back.
