Bank to open new regional headquarters in Bristol
A bank is to establish its South West headquarters in a new office in Bristol.
Set to open in the summer of 2023, the EQ building will play a “key part” in supporting HSBC’s commitment to boost and drive growth across the city centre.
The company will occupy 11,000 sq ft of the 200,000 sq ft structure on Victoria Street, with 270 employees who are based at its current office in Temple Quay set to move there.
EQ will also have facilities including a rooftop restaurant, a business lounge with a terrace and a 50-seat auditorium.

“The new office in Bristol will help us elevate the experience whilst progressing our commitment to our Net Zero Strategy.”
James Shepherd, the bank’s head of corporate banking for the South West, added: “We are delighted to make this investment as part of our long term commitment to Bristol and the South West.
“Bristol is a key strategic office for us and this move will provide a fantastic working environment for our colleagues whilst also supporting our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment.”
