Standard Life Aberdeen, the FTSE 100-listed asset management group, has overhauled its London office ahead of staff returning to work following the pandemic.

Chief executive Stephen Bird said its office near St Paul's cathedral has undergone “an extreme makeover” and has been reconfigured to accommodate hybrid working, where employees split their time from home and the office. The firm usually has about 900 staff in its London office.
