AluK's new HQ awarded 'Best Workplace Design of the Year'

The facility was designed by Cardiff-based Rio Architects and opened in May last year, becoming part of the largest single investment in a manufacturing facility in Wales.

Judges were particularly impressed by the building’s new façade, innovative paint line, maximised natural light, break out spaces and a more efficient factory layout.

Our managing director Russell Yates said:

“We are naturally overjoyed that our headquarters has won such a prestigious national award. We worked incredibly hard with Rio Architects to realise our vision. It is truly an honour to have all the time, investment and effort of everyone involved recognised by Wales’ biggest business title. We would very much like to thank Rio Architects for a wonderful job on our new home. The award is certainly well deserved.”

The move was part of our commitment to boost production capacity, support innovations in product design, showcase products, and provide warehousing and office space.

The awards category, which debuted this year, and has been added to celebrate the growing number of innovative, high-quality office, and workplace fit-outs and refurbishments in Wales.
