GODFREY Pembroke has taken out a lease on 850 square metres of level 16 of 140 St Georges Terrace, vacating Exchange Plaza in the process. Managing director Greg Divine said the business was steering away from the traditional look of a financial planning office. “The new location boasts an open-plan layout and design intended to improve a person’s experience with the business, whether they be a client, business partner or staff member,” Mr Devine said. “With an ever-changing marketplace we want to ensure that, as a business, we remain relevant to the needs of our clients, business partners and existing and potential employees. This is as important as the quality of our client service offering.” Godfrey Pembroke planned to start operations from its new location on Monday.
