New state-of-the-art
office has open and accessible atmosphere and encourages cooperation
The new central
office of VodafoneZiggo will be located in the very centre of Utrecht. As of
October 2018, more than 1,400 employees will be working in the new building in
shopping centre Hoog Catharijne. This was announced by management today. Since
the merger of Vodafone and Ziggo, the new company has been looking for a
central location of its own to unite its workforce. Work that is currently
spread out over four offices in Amsterdam and Utrecht, will be centralized in
the building between Singel and Central Station Utrecht. On the same location
VodafoneZiggo is also building an experience centre for business customers and
a shop.
Jeroen Hoencamp, CEO at
VodafoneZiggo: "We are pleased with this new place, a top of the bill
location befitting our company. With our brands, VodafoneZiggo operates at the
heart of the community and the customer is put first. The new Hoog Catharijne
lies in the heart of the fastest growing city in the Netherlands and is thé
meeting place for many due to its central location. It has approximately 26
million passers-by each year, that is 26 million 'connections' with existing
and prospective customers: how special is that! With this new location, in the
middle of the Amsterdam – Maastricht axis which is important to us, we will
have a centrally located meeting place with an office, an experience centre,
and a shop. An appealing home in a dynamic and inspiring environment that
clearly demonstrates to consumers and businesses alike who we are and what we
do. That is why we have opted for this location for our new central office."

Mayor Jan van Zanen:
"Utrecht welcomes VodafoneZiggo to the heart of the city. In VodafoneZiggo
Utrecht will have a partner that can contribute to our digital future with all
kinds of smart solutions and initiatives. Utrecht is a smart city with a modern
digital infrastructure, where innovative services are being developed to make
people's lives more convenient. VodafoneZiggo is not only a large employer moving
its offices to the city, but also a party that can partner in the development
of such 'smart' services. Services that can result in progress for the city with
regard to safety and technology, good connectivity for its inhabitants and
businesses and that teach children the ins and outs of technology. And thanks
to our huge student network, VodafoneZiggo will find a source of inspiration
and talent. In short: this is a relationship we are proud of."
