So today is our last in Wellington House. After 16 years in the “spiritual home” of Morgan McKinley’s financial services division – the business is moving onwards and upwards. Like sports teams that move stadia, the new office is a landmark and will offer benefits on so many levels, but it is worth a moment of reflection on from whence we came.

The people I have worked with and those who have visited Wellington House have provided a period of my career full of character and colour. In my time here, I’ve learned it’s important to be clear in your vision and flexible in your approach. Most importantly, always have fun!

Our new flagship office is at 61 Aldwych where we’ll be in good company next to the LSE and opposite the next new venture from the Wolseley Restaurant Group. Unlike moving football grounds, I expect nobody to be clamouring for souvenirs from Wellington House but those who have worked here, now or in the past, will certainly take some great memories of the good, the bad and the ugly.

The Duke of Wellington famously said, “Habit is ten times nature.” After 11 years working at Wellington House, here’s hoping I remember to turn up at our new office on Monday morning!

Farewell Wellington House
