EXPANDING Alphabet’s new HQ is in Farnborough in a milestone move from its current location in Hook, Hampshire.
Over the next two weeks, starting May 9, all 430-plus UK-based Alphabet employees will be moving into the mobility and fleet leasing specialist’s new home, Alphabet House in Farnborough, just a few miles up the M3.
Alphabet’s new address is now Alphabet House, Summit Avenue, Farnborough, Hampshire GU14 0FB.
Matt Sutherland, chief operating officer at Alphabet, said: “There are some exciting and transformational changes taking place within our business.
“This move marks a significant milestone in Alphabet’s journey from our humble beginnings in 1997, towards becoming the leading provider of outstanding business mobility in the UK. The simple fact is that we have outgrown our previous home which served us well for the past five years.
