PwC wonât be downsizing its office space any time soon, according to Kevin Ellis, PwCâs UK senior partner. He said that the pandemic has accelerated changes to working patterns, âbring things forward by three or four yearsâ. Hybrid working is here to stay, he explained, and therefore the office will remain a key part of working life.
Ellis admitted that the future of the market for office space is difficult to predict, but âif anything at the moment we need more space than ever because of social distancingâ.
PwC staff have also told him that they really value having the option to use an office â whether for a personal or business use.
He went on to say that in the longer term it will be important to continue to ensure offices offer people something more than they can get at home, whether itâs working together, innovating or learning. âI am sure Iâm not alone in wanting this to be the case.â
