Barclays had a requirement for quality space at a competitive rent and in close proximity to its existing headquarters on the Canary Wharf Estate. I immediately noticed the refurbished space on offer at Exchange Tower met these needs and we were able to negotiate a flexible lease length that suited us. Hammerson impressed me as a sensible landlord willing to listen and talk to its tenants and treat them like customers. The building itself is well managed and conveys a good impression on arrival. It is not that different from the new generation of buildings on the main 'Wharf' estate.

Getting to and from the office could not be easier. The Northen and Jubilee lines transport me from Leicester Square to Canary Wharf. Then, depending on the weather, I can walk along the water's edge or hop on the DLR two stops to South Quay. All in all, it takes under 40 minutes.

It has been really beneficial being so close to so many clients. We have all the benefits of Canary Wharf without having to pay Canary Wharf prices.

A host of bars and restaurants, situated within walking distance from work, provide a perfect place for a business meeting or relaxed lunch with colleagues. The numerious hotels ensure the perfect stopover for clients visiting from around the country. No matter what my day entails, I know I have every amenity at my fingertips.

As one of Exchange Tower's longest resident tenants we appreciate the friendly tenant community, good building services, together with great views of the City, Canary Wharf and across the river to Greenwich.

Nearly two years ago we sited an important computer room into our Exchange Tower offices. The building's level of security - obviously an important factor to us - is good. We have had no security breach, day or night.

Over ten years, our staff numbers have grown from 35 to over 300 and the Exchange Tower management has always worked closely with us to ensure expansion has been a smooth and effortless process. We look forward to continuing our positive relationship with their management throughout the years to come.
