CII to sublet from CISI on third floor of ‘Walkie Talkie’

The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) will be subletting part of our office space at 20 Fenchurch St from early 2021

CISI-CII

The third floor of the iconic London office building will soon be the international headquarters of two Chartered institutes. This follows a review of both our property footprints following the Covid-19 lockdown.

Situated at the heart of the investment and insurance sector in the City of London, the office has already proved an ideal location for us. Sharing the space will mean that two members of the  Chartered Body Alliance (CISI, CII, Chartered Banker Institute) will be physically closer together, which will allow us to continue to best serve our members and customers in a new era.

We are remodelling our existing space in the building to create a new physically separate office for the CII for a lease of five years. The CII and CISI will remain legally separate.

The CII currently has offices in South Woodford and Lombard Street in central London. Both premises will be vacated by the end of December 2020.

The CII and CISI will remain legally separateWe will embrace a new way of working with a split of remote and office working for London-based staff.  

The CII had already established an ‘Anytime Anywhere’ approach to working, which has enabled this move to take place.

CISI CEO Simon Culhane, Chartered FCSI, said: “This is collaboration and cooperation in action and a great opportunity for both organisations. During 2020 we have learnt the benefits of our staff being able to work remotely and how this positively contributes to productivity and wellbeing. Therefore we have taken a decision to remodel our existing property footprint by creating two separate offices on our floor. This has offered us a positive new opportunity.”

CII CEO Sian Fisher said: “The Walkie Talkie will be a modern and dynamic business hub for us, which meets the evolving needs of our organisation with community space for staff and visitors, both on our floor and from other features of the building like the Mezzanine and Sky Garden. We look forward to being neighbours of the CISI from 2021.”
