SUNTORY SELECTS ARC UXBRIDGE AS NEW HEAD OFFICE
Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I, part of the Suntory Group, has selected ARC Uxbridge as its new UK head office, taking 26,000 sq. ft in Building 01, which has recently undergone a full refurbishment. SBF GB&I was established in 2014 and is known for producing popular drinks such as Lucozade, Ribena and Orangina.
Over the last twelve months ARC Uxbridge has let over 96K of sq. ft at the campus following extensive development and refurbishment of the campus’s buildings, with the work at Building 01 leading to an EPC A and BREEAM very good rating and has been designed to create flexible spaces with a focus on wellbeing. New sustainable measures have also been introduced including roof mounted PV panels and air source heat pumps.
SBF GB&I is joining other well-known food and confectionery businesses including Mondelēz which is leading the future of snacking with iconic global brands such as Oreo, Ritz and Cadbury, and Pizza Express whose mission is to bring a dining table to life with great food, music, and company.
Andrew Davies, leasing director at ARC, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome SBF GB&I to ARC Uxbridge, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter as the company joins leading food and beverage organisations at the campus. This move brings together SBF GB&I’s renowned approach to sustainability and quality with ARC’s dynamic approach to innovation across the campus community.”

We’ve changed the way we work and as we look towards the future, we need a headquarters that sets us up for success and helps us meet our ambitions, which we know we’ve found in ARC. Our company purpose is to inspire the brilliance of life and create rich experiences for people and this new space will help us do exactly that.”
