Deloitte has opened the doors to its new Bristol office in the landmark Halo building, one of the UK’s most sustainable office developments.
The move to Halo brings the Deloitte South West team of 750 together under one roof, having previously been based in two separate offices in the city.
Deloitte will occupy a total of 29,500 sq. ft on the first and second floors of Halo, located in the award-winning Finzel’s Reach area in the heart of Bristol, a short distance from Bristol Harbour and within easy walking distance of St Nicholas Market, King Street and public transport links.
Deloitte chose Halo as the development has set new standards of sustainable office design, having become one of the first buildings outside London to receive the BREEAM Outstanding accreditation.
The space is equipped with high-efficiency air cooled chillers, energy regeneration from lifts, solar panels on the roof and joinery made from recycled resin – which reduce energy and water consumption as well as carbon emissions. This aligns with Deloitte’s firmwide mission to decarbonise its buildings and prioritise sustainable growth.
Deloitte’s in-house Real Estate team designed the new office to enable a culture of engagement and inclusivity, with more shared spaces for team connection and collaborative working, and a dedicated client suite. Wellness spaces are incorporated, including a nursing room and a multi-faith space.

By GlobalDataThe firm’s hybrid working model allows people and teams to have flexibility and control in how they work across client sites, Deloitte offices and home to maximise client impact.
Commenting on this, Deloitte senior partner for the South West and Wales, Dave Tansley, said: “This significant move for Deloitte underlines our role in the wider region, both as a leading employer and respected business. We have an ambitious, mission-led vision for growth for both the firm and the region, and we believe this new working space will supercharge that.
“As we reinforce our commitment to growing our business in the South West, it is vital to have a workspace that meets our needs, by prioritising collaborative spaces and co-working areas, allowing our people and clients to network, build relationships and socialise in an inclusive and effective working environment – now and for the future.”
Deloitte had of sustainability, Gavin Harrison, added: “Sustainability and environmental credentials have been at the core of our decision-making process regarding the new Bristol office. Halo is genuinely a state-of-the-art building that aligns with our environmental values.
“Choosing Halo in the centre of Bristol as our new home and bringing our team together in a highly sustainable and collaborative workspace reinforces our commitment to our people and clients, but also to playing our part in the future prosperity of the city and wider region.”
In addition to its environmental credentials, a notable Halo feature is its drone landing pad on the roof of the building to accommodate drone delivery services.
The Bristol office move follows Deloitte’s teams in Edinburgh and Manchester moving into more sustainable offices designed with collaboration and hybrid ways of working in mind.
