National Recognition for Christopher Ward
The Yard, Christopher Ward's headquarters in Maidenhead, has won the British Council for Offices' National Fit Out of Workplace Award, following its regional success at the BCO South of England and South Wales Awards in May 2026.
Designed and delivered by Spratley & Partners and Curve Workplace in February 2025, the 10,079 sq ft headquarters brings almost every part of the business under one roof, including design studios, marketing, administration, watch servicing, logistics and customer showrooms.
National judges praised the project for improving operational efficiency, strengthening the company's identity and enhancing the customer experience. They also highlighted the impact of the move to The Yard, noting that Christopher Ward has doubled its revenue and increased its daily shipping capacity from 500 to 800 watches.
