This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: eCommerce firm sets up inspirational global HQ in Watford.

Global eCommerce consultancy Salmon, has moved into its first dedicated office, extending its 20-year residence in Watford. The company is moving from 64 Clarendon Road to 36 Clarendon Road as it looks to expand following its integration into Wunderman Commerce, part of the global digital agency Wunderman.

Salmon relocated to Watford in 1998 with approximately 200 employees. Today, the company boasts over 750 employees in the UK and works with the likes of DFS, Halfords, Sainsbury's, Ted Baker and many other major national and international brands.

James Westoby, UK Managing Director at Salmon, said: "We've been in Watford for two decades and we didn't want to change a winning formula. Watford has become a popular base for more and more large companies due to its convenient transport links and ongoing investment of more than £1.5bn to improve services in the town. It's a great place to base ourselves as we continue to expand."

The new head office will include a roof top terrace and electrical car charging points, as well as secure storage, showers on each floor and separate 'hubs' for client meetings, breakfasts and company meetings.

Andy Jones, Director of Customer Experience at Salmon, said: "The new office is the start of another great chapter for everyone involved at the company and I look forward to toasting many future wins on the roof top terrace."
