2 Apex, a truly connected collective. Apex is a unique office building in Reading, designed to encourage strong working relationships. At the heart of the Apex ethos is an understanding that such interaction is founded on genuine connections. Our community, the Apex Collective, offers a rewarding and enjoyable environment to inhabit, turning away from the old order and embracing a new way of working.

3 Working at Apex runs deeper than bricks and mortar. It s about creating an environment where people want to work, and we ensure our ethos runs through everything we do. This starts at the front door. We have brand ambassadors; we don t have receptionists. And we want to keep our occupiers happy by hosting a variety of events which encourage interaction, learning, health and happiness. COLLABORATIVE SPACES Apex has a really strong sense of community and there are so many great people here. The atrium allows for inclusiveness and is a really nice place to socialise at lunchtime.

4 Real interaction, not just touching base. The 221,000 sq ft Grade A office building is arranged over four blocks and seven storeys, bringing its community together with a bright, full-height atrium and large co-working space on the ground floor. Our refurbished new western entrance, communal areas, cafés and retail space enable natural opportunities to connect and unwind.

5 RECEPTION ATRIUM MEETING SPACES At Apex, we believe working life should be about meaningful connections; more than name badges and nods in the lift. It s better for work, it s better for you. Our considered refurbishment has incorporated details which champion interaction. The atrium, ground floor meeting rooms and event spaces enable the Apex Collective to share and learn from each other in a relaxed, welcoming environment. 8 9

9 F I E L D R D Reading the power of thinking differently. C A R D I F F R D M I L F O R D R D A D D I S O N R D Y O R K R D B R I V E R T H A M E S Reading s unique business culture has seen it crowned number one tech hub in the country. In 2015, it retained its spot as the UK s most successful economy while tech firms and start-ups across Reading and Bracknell have earned this area the nickname of the UK s Silicon Valley. Apex is proud to occupy a prime position in this innovative area. Reading is surrounded by bold thinkers and forward looking pioneers, and is home to 13 of the world s top 30 brands, including Microsoft, Thales, Bayer and PepsiCo. Apex is right next to the station in a central location, so we have great access to Reading town and London. You get the benefit of being close to London without having to live there.
