New London Offices
-- Savings c. EUR1 million in 2022
-- Total savings of over EUR5 million expected over the first five years of the lease
The Board of SEC Newgate S.p.A., the insight-driven global
strategic communications group that works at the nexus of business,
politics, communities, markets and media, is pleased to announce
that a lease has been signed for new offices in London. Total cash
and IFRS16 savings of more than EUR5 million are expected over the
first five years of the lease.
The new ten-year lease, with a five-year tenant-only break,
comprises a c.14,000 sq ft self-contained building in Farringdon,
London EC1. The new offices will be home to SEC Newgate UK and part
of the Group's finance and corporate function. It is expected that
relocation will occur in Autumn 2021.
Due to IFRS16 treatment, the lease costs related to the new
contract will generate an increase of the fixed asset depreciation
in 2021, with substantial savings to be fully included in the
Group's consolidated financial statements from 2022 onwards.
The savings to the Group from 2022 onwards are estimated to be
about EUR1 million per annum, based on the reduction in rent, rates
and service charge on the new offices compared with the combined
cost of its existing building, where the lease ends on 5 January
2022, and Newington's former offices, where the lease ends in July
2021.
Commenting on this important milestone, Fiorenzo Tagliabue,
said:
"Our new offices in London provide a far more dynamic and
appropriate workspace, combined with the highest quality
technology, that will deliver positive benefits to our team,
clients and shareholders. We are delighted with the further savings
that have been achieved which will drop straight to our bottom
line."
Emma Kane, Deputy Group CEO and CEO of SEC Newgate UK, said:
"Our new offices are an important part of our mission to attract
and retain the highest calibre people by providing a stimulating
environment that is able to adapt to a new way of working and
collaborating with our clients and contacts. The space provides us
with an environment to focus, meet, collaborate, and innovate. It
is also an important step in our mission to secure BCorp status for
SEC Newgate UK over the coming year, by moving to an office
environment that has a smaller carbon footprint and which enables
us to deliver on our sustainability commitments."
SEC Newgate was advised by tenant representatives Expedite
Office Ltd on the acquisition and fitting out of the Farringdon
offices as well as the disposal and exit from its current
premises.
