Options, a private financial cloud provider for the global capital markets industry, has opened a new office in the heart of London’s West End.
Located at 1 Berkeley Street, the new office is the IaaS provider’s first in central London and will be dedicated to client support, account management, business development and sales. It will complement Options’ existing London office in Wimbledon.
The move to central London is a key part of a global initiative to move Options’ sales and support teams closer to key customers and follows a 12 months in which the firm expanded its Midtown office in New York to 100 Park Avenue and opened a further office in Chicago.
The West End location is within 10 minutes walking distance of a majority of the firm’s central London clients.
The firm expects to hire additional senior sales and business staff in the next few months to be based out of the Berkeley Square office.
“As Options continues to scale globally, one of our primary ambitions is to bring the business even closer to our key customers. It’s been a little over 12 months since the successful expansion of our office in New York and a central London office at the heart of London’s West End was a natural next step. It has long been a key priority and we’re delighted to have finally made the move to the City,” says Options chief executive Nigel Kneafsey (pictured).
