BDO Southampton Office: A Future-Focused Workplace for the UK

BDO Southampton Office: A Space Where People Thrive

At BDO, our belief in championing locations beyond London shines through in our recently refurbished Southampton office at Arcadia House. This modern space reflects our commitment to bolstering the Central South region—an area bustling with ambitious businesses that drive the UK’s economic future.

“We characterise [them] as the country’s economic engine,” says Alex Stansbury, highlighting how the organisations we serve are the “unsung heroes of growth and employment.” By positioning ourselves in Southampton, we can better meet the needs of these high-potential enterprises, whether they are private equity-backed or exploring public markets.

A Collaborative, State-of-the-Art Environment

A workspace should be more than just desks and chairs. Our refurbished Southampton office features collaboration hubs, private areas for focus, and social spaces that encourage informal catchups. “There’s one word really, which is excitement,” says Steve Hoon, highlighting how being “in the heart of Ocean Village” provides an atmosphere that supports client service as well as teamwork.

Recognising the need for both collaboration and quiet time, Steve adds, “We’re very social people. We want to be together. But equally, sometimes we will need a bit of peace and quiet. And this new office will accommodate that.” Every detail of BDO’s Southampton office is designed with our people’s well-being and productivity in mind.

Powering the UK’s Economic Engine Together

The Southampton office investment reaffirms BDO’s mission to serve the “unsung heroes” of the UK’s economic engine. By creating a workspace that fosters collaboration, inclusion, and innovation, we’re ensuring our teams—and the businesses they support—can flourish.
