Deloitte checks in at Birmingham headquarters
Deloitte has completed a move across the city into One Centenary Way, occupying 46,000 sq ft across two floors of the building.
The firm, which employs around 1,000 staff in Birmingham, announced plans to relocate from Brindleyplace in January, part of a wider programme of moves across the UK, which has also seen the firm switch locations in Aberdeen, Belfast, Bristol and Manchester over the past two years.
Deloitte has taken up the seventh and eighth floors of the flagship Paradise office building, joining TLT, Goldman Sachs, JLL and wealth management firm Quilter Cheviot as tenants.
The opening was attended by Deloitte chief executive Darren Graves, West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker, Nick Smith, head of infrastructure at Birmingham City FC, and Vicky Gosling OBE, chair of the Birmingham 2027 Invictus Games.

Juliet Halfhead, practice senior partner, Deloitte Midlands, said the move represented a “new era” for Deloitte’s Birmingham practice.
“The Midlands remains one of the country’s most dynamic regions for business, innovation and investment. From major real estate and infrastructure programmes to advances in manufacturing and technology, organisations across the region are driving growth here, and across the UK,” she said.
“We’re committed to playing a central role in that story, and our new home reflects our confidence in the region’s future. The space creates an environment where our people can develop their skills and careers, build stronger relationships with clients and contribute to some of the most significant projects shaping the future of the Midlands.”
