Lounge Underwear to double workforce at new global HQ Lingerie and loungewear etailer Lounge Underwear is opening a new 54,000 sq ft global headquarters in Solihull, and plans to double its headcount over the next 12 months. The three-storey space, which previously housed the US tech firm Oracle, is located at 1 Blythe Gate, and will further expand the brand’s presence at Blythe Valley Park. It already operates a distribution centre and offices in the area. The project will be executed in two phases, costing a total of between £3m and £4m, which is being funded with cash reserves from the business, according to Lounge Underwear CEO Daniel Marsden. Phase one will be completed in late May or early June and includes a full re-fit of the ground and first floors. The top floor will be completed in phase two, as staff numbers grow.
