British Airways Euroflyer

A More Connected Workplace

Gatwick Airport, UK

Trend Group transformed British Airways Euroflyer’s Gatwick Airport head office into a more open, connected and engaging workplace designed around the way its teams work today. Working alongside CBRE, who represented the client as project manager, Trend Group delivered a turnkey design and build solution that replaced a series of separated rooms with a more collaborative and flexible environment. The refurbished workplace combines considered space planning, contemporary workplace design and practical project delivery to support hybrid working, focused work and connection across BA Euroflyer’s teams.

Reconfiguring the Workplace

Previously divided into individual rooms, the office limited interaction and created a disconnected working environment. Trend Group opened up the floorplate, improving flow and making better use of the available space. A balanced mix of workstations, meeting rooms, phone booths and informal collaboration areas was introduced to support teamwork while allowing for future growth. Glass meeting room partitions help retain natural light, contributing to a brighter and more open workplace.

Supporting Hybrid Teams

Flexibility was central to the workplace, which accommodates core support and administrative teams as well as visiting pilots, cabin crew and other colleagues. A kitchen and social space provides a natural hub for connection, while dedicated team zones, permanent and flexible desks, improved storage and informal seating support BA Euroflyer’s hybrid working model. Writable surfaces and flexible collaboration spaces encourage different ways of working. Playful details, including a meeting table that doubles as a ping-pong table, bring a relaxed energy to the workplace.

Creating a Distinctive Identity

The project was an opportunity to establish BA Euroflyer’s first dedicated workplace and create an identity that remains connected to British Airways while feeling distinctly its own. Subtle brand colours are balanced with neutral finishes, acoustic treatments, greenery and a feature moss wall. Aviation references feature, including a central corridor designed to evoke the feeling of a runway. Existing furniture was repurposed where possible, while sustainability considerations informed supplier selection, with suppliers assessed according to their own sustainability commitments and practices.
