OMF Announces Relocation of Head Office to Britomart

AUCKLAND – 14 September 2016. OM Financial Limited (OMF), a boutique financial markets brokerage firm, is pleased to announce the relocation of their Auckland Head Office to Britomart. The move is an important milestone in the firm’s 30 year history and represents a new chapter as they position themselves in the heart of Auckland’s Central Business District.

“After 16 years, we had outgrown the premises in Newmarket and it was time for us to consider an alternative location. Britomart is the perfect precinct for OMF to call home as it positions us centrally and amongst some of our institutional and corporate client base” said Matt Blackwell, Group CEO. “With the recent expansion into Australia and the development of our offering, we feel it’s a place that accurately reflects the quality, expertise and global reach of our business.”

The open plan office provides 44 staff with the opportunity for both work collaboration and social interaction with more space, formal and informal meeting rooms, dedicated break out areas and a café area where client functions can be held. The office has been designed to improve the connection between teams, technology and the organisation and allows closer interaction with clients. “We wanted the new office to be a professional space that inspires staff, as well as being inviting and comfortable for clients to call into” said Matt.

Commercial interior design consultancy firm, PDM International, were engaged to design and construct a modern, expansive, open floor space whilst still retaining some of the original heritage features. The finished result is a functional environment that OMF can feel proud of.

Overlooking Takutai Square, the new office is located on level two in the newly refurbished Australis Nathan building on Galway Street. The historic building is the former Entrican Building, or Australis House, and was erected in 1903-1904. It has a history as the trading headquarters of a successful import/export business and underwent a $40m refurbishment in which two historic buildings were integrated into one. Other tenants include luxury brands Tiffany & Co and Chanel on the ground floor, and a number of commercial tenants occupy the four levels above.
