Contractor lands deal for 450,000 ft2 IPC Media headquarters on London's South Bank.

ISG InteriorExterior has been appointed principal fit-out contractor on the IPC Media headquarters at 1 Bankside on London’s South Bank.

InteriorExterior beat off competition from a shortlist including Structuretone, Overbury and Bovis Lend Lease to clinch the deal for the 450,000 ft2 project. Nine companies were originally invited to tender for the contract.

Jenny Noon, IPC Media facilities director, said: “InteriorExterior has an impressive track record of fit-out projects of this scale. Recent projects include the fit out of BP International in Canary Wharf, as well as the London Stock Exchange. For this project they have fielded a team with unrivalled expertise in their respective fields.”

IPC Media, Time Warner Book Group and Time and Fortune magazines will relocate to the landmark Bankside project in mid-2007.
