Media agency’s move at Kings Hill, Maidstone

One of the UK’s largest independent media agencies, which originally moved to Kings Hill to spare its Kent-based staff the London commute, has expanded its base on the park for the second time.

The Specialist Works, which was voted Media Agency of the Year 2016, employs 156 people and has offices worldwide, including Kings Hill, London, New York, China, Dublin and Bonn.

The company opened its first Kings Hill office in 2008 and moved to a new building with larger premises three years later. It has now moved to another office, which provides some 5,260 sq ft.

Currently 45 people are employed at Kings Hill and expansion plans will see that number increase to 70.

“Kings Hill has a range of office space and we have been able to move to larger premises but remain in the place our staff enjoy working in.”

The new office is stylishly fitted out in a Garden of England theme incorporating design suggestions from the staff. “People sit at the heart of our company so it’s important they design a space that inspires them,” added Tom. “We kept the actual design secret until the day of the big reveal and staff whose design suggestions made it to the final fit out found magnums of champagne placed next to their idea.”

Kings Hill has a range of property solutions to suit different business needs and space requirements, ranging from start ups to global businesses. Andrew Blevins, managing director of Kings Hill developer Liberty Property Trust said: “One of Kings Hill’s great advantages is that it has a large cluster of office buildings under single ownership which enables us to offer companies the flexibility to grow whilst remaining in the same location in a way that very few business parks do.

“The Specialist Works is a perfect example of a company we have worked with to accommodate its steady growth over the years and we look forward to being part of its on-going success.

“I’m delighted it is finding the area such a rich source of staff and will be providing more jobs in the future.”
