OTA Holidaysplease meets modern standards for hi-tech office gadgetery in new HQ

It used to be that to underline your credentials as a truly digital business all you needed was table football and a few brightly coloured beanbags scattered around the office. But with the likes of Google and Facebook setting the bar impossibly high in terms of bleeding edge tech office equipment and design, that no longer cuts the mustard.

It used to be that to underline your credentials as a truly digital business all you needed was table football and a few brightly coloured beanbags scattered around the office.

But with the likes of Google and Facebook setting the bar impossibly high in terms of bleeding edge tech office equipment and design, that no longer cuts the mustard.

So it’s good to see that UK award winning online travel agency Holidaysplease is doing its bit to keep up with the times in its new £300,000 offices in Birmingham.

The forward-thinking digitally-savvy agency has moved a mile away from its old offices in the centre of the Midlands city.

Having spent £50,000 modernising its new home and settled in, director Charles Duncombe sent Travolution a few pics to give us office envy.

These show staff playing on the office Xbox that has been embedded into a living plant wall.

Also available to bolster any flagging morale of Holidaysplease staff are a frozen yoghurt machine and popcorn maker.

Employees have also been treated to a few free goodies like laptops and tablets.

Duncombe said: “We are delighted to move into our new offices with their light, bright fresh feel. When we have finished playing with all our new toys we might even get some work done!”
