91Èȱ¬ Worldwide Australia re-locates to inspiring new HQ

91Èȱ¬ Worldwide Australia will take a step forward in its strategy to develop its presence in the Australian market by moving to a major new HQ in March.

The move will combine two 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide offices, currently situated in North Ryde and North Sydney, at new premises in Macquarie Park. It will co-locate the company's 90 staff who work across 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide’s seven business areas.

The new premises follow the principles inherent in the recent re-development of 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide's London headquarters, which reflect the company's culture, identity, vision and values. They will showcase 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide's key brands: Top Gear, Doctor Who, 91Èȱ¬ Earth and Dancing with the Stars as well as its Australasian channels brands – UKTV, CBeebies, 91Èȱ¬ Knowledge and 91Èȱ¬ World News.

The offices will also build on 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide's global commitment to the environment. Focusing on the reduction of energy and water consumption, and the inclusion of sustainable building materials and furnishing, the premises’ design aims to maximise employee wellbeing as well as minimise environmental impact.

"This is an opportunity to bring all of 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide's businesses in Australia together into a vibrant, new working environment" said Tony Iffland, 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide Australia's General Manager. "By working collaboratively under one roof, we will provide a creative and powerful platform from which we can continue to expand our business."

Australia was named a key territory for 91Èȱ¬ Worldwide in 2007. Since then, the company has made an equity investment in local production company Freehand, created a jv publishing venture with ACP Magazines, acquired a 100% stake in UKTV and launched CBeebies and 91Èȱ¬ Knowledge, acquired 75% of travel information company Lonely Planet, launched bbc.com as an advertising proposition and brought motoring entertainment brand Top Gear to multi-platform success.


NOTES TO EDITORS
91Èȱ¬ Worldwide Australia's address from March 15 2010 will be: Level 5, 6 Eden Park Drive, Macquarie Park, NSW 2113
