Mr Shepherd said: “This is our first ever experience working on an office project like this, having been in serviced offices before. But the team at Interaction were really great and everything was completed right on schedule.
“We wanted a space with a wow factor that is representative of who we are and who we want to be in the market; a place that we can comfortably grow into. Interaction have certainly delivered our vision – it looks just like we had hoped.
“It’s a much more flexible space than before and it’s already changing the way we work, and making us more collaborative.”
Hayley Blacker, a director at Interaction said: “Social Shepherd are a real success story and we’re delighted to have designed their first proper home. Our brief was to translate their fast-growing digital brand into a physical space with room to expand and collaborate.
