Client Background

Betfair is one of the world’s largest international online sports betting providers and has twice been named the UK’s ‘Company of Year’ by the Confederation of British Industry.

Having rapidly risen from internet start-up in 2000 to market-leader, Betfair are now focused on “creating a better place to work” for their current employees and attracting new talent.

Points of note

The 75,000 square feet project, spanning over three floors of the 5 storey building, was carried out with 1,200 employees in occupation, with no business downtime and within an incredibly tight timescale. Our workplace design and optimisation scheme included collaborative spaces for informal meetings, secure areas, club lounges, radio and broadcast rooms and a newly refurbished restaurant.

Betfair were keen to engage the workforce in the office refurbishment process and we spent considerable time interviewing their internal Space Investment Committee to ensure the best understanding of their requirements.

Client Comment

“On behalf of Market Operations, I would like to say a big thank you to the Maris team for all their hard work over the past few months in making our move a reality.

We couldn’t have been more impressed in the way they engaged us in the whole process from start to finish. From consulting on the exact lay-out of the office, to the specifications for new monitors, to the testing of chairs for their ergonomic design and comfort, to the final planning of the move….it has all been done superbly! We are all delighted with the new office which has a lovely bright, modern and spacious feel to it.

We are truly grateful for the investment made into creating this excellent working environment for us. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!”
