CASE STUDIES

"APS has been an outstanding partner for Hachette."

Chris Emerson, Hachette UK ( Chief Operating Officer )

APS has been an outstanding partner for Hachette; managing the delivery of our new London headquarters from concept to completion. The delivery of a complex and challenging fit-out, alongside relocation from five London offices, on time and on budget is a fantastic achievement. It would not have been possible without the leadership, experience and attention to detail that the APS team were able to provide. The result is a new home that has delighted our staff, authors and agents. Carmelite House has transformed Hachette UK. We asked a lot of this building, wanting it to be a 'magnet for talent' – attracting the very best staff and authors to our company. In a few short months, the building has already delivered on these rather ambitious objectives.
