Mayor to back Saatchi’s office revamp plans
SAATCHI & SAATCHI looks set to press ahead with plans to redevelop its Fitzrovia offices after Mayor of London Boris Johnson signalled he will approve the scheme.
Camden Council had rejected the proposals after residents raised concerns that the area is already over developed and will suffer from the extra workers. The ad agency wants to almost double its floor space, which will involve the demolition of the Pregnant Man pub.
Meanwhile, listed ad agency M&C Saatchi yesterday released a bullish statement at its annual meeting boasting of adding a string of blue chip clients. Chairman Jeremy Sinclair said the firm has signed up firms including Google, BAE Systems and Siemens.
He said: “The Group has continued the progress made in 2010. The new offices are performing promisingly and the new business performance has been good.”
