Streamlined EMI Music move to High Street Ken offices
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 18 February 2009
So, EMIers, like Sony Music staff before them, are having to a customise themselves to the more snug, more open plan settings of new offices in Kensington, though they won’t have the up side of not having to work in Fulham any more to compensate.
Yes, the somewhat slim-lined EMI Music UK are in the process of moving their London HQ from their long standing home on Brook Green in Hammersmith up the road to High Street Ken, where they will join the rest of the EMI UK companies in their Wrights Lane offices.
The lease on the Brook Green office has been given up, and everyone left there should have moved to the Kensington offices by the end of next month, some have already moved. The Crown House offices across the road from the old Brook Green HQ, home to the Virgin Records division, will be kept for the time being.
EMI’s move of its record labels to High Street Ken means the UK HQs of Sony, Warner and EMI are now all within a few minutes walk from each other, while the Universal labels are based not so far down the road. You could practically take them all out with one bomb.
