Beazley Chooses Premium Coffee Solution

The Beazley office is spread across the 8th and 9th floor of the  Cornerblock building, located in the heart of the Colmore Business District. With a focus on Activity Based Working and room for growth, the new workspace was designed with a variety of focussed areas to suit different work styles; including a library for silent working, collaboration zones and quiet meeting areas.

According to Linda, biophillia was also a big theme for the office design which includes plenty of trees and foliage to ‘bring the outside in’. Biophillic design has been linked to reducing stress in the workplace and is in line with scientific and psychological theories about humans’ intrinsic need for exposure to natural environments.  The upper level, known as ‘The Pavillion’, also boasts an impressive roof terrace with a mix of seating both indoors and out.

The social factor was really important to Beazley when considering the design of the office. Two TopBrewer’s are installed in the main social hub and Beazley staff are encouraged to use this space to socialise and eat their lunch away from their desks to promote engagement and wellbeing.

The machines serve a range of hot and cold beverages that can be personalised with the TopBrewer app and saved as a favourite. At Beazley’s request, Scanomat have set up one TopBrewer with semi-skimmed milk and the other with skimmed milk to suit different dietary requirements.

As Linda is based in the London office she has found the CoffeeCloud management tool for TopBrewer a great resource to keep a close eye on the machine performance and cleaning schedule in realtime:

In the first three months, Beazley employees consumed over 5,000 drinks. Latte was the most popular drink, followed by hot water and chilled water. Flat White was the second most popular coffee beverage accounting for 10% of all drinks served.
