More than 60 staff are now based at the two-storey offices, which have been extensively refurbished by interior fit-out specialists Butler and Willow.
Cat Moseley, human resources director at Motorpoint, said: “We really couldn’t be happier with our new home on the Wyvern Business Park.
“Champion House provides the perfect balance of contemporary work and break out space while being ideally located close to the motorway network for our teams to travel to our network of branches throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
“Employee well-being was at the heart of the project with a view to improving teams’ engagement and provide the team with a space that inspires creativity, big ideas and collaboration, as well as the opportunity to break out and socialise and I think that definitely been achieved with our head office.”
Trevor Raybould, Principal of Raybould and Sons, who negotiated the deal on behalf of the building’s owner, said: “We’re delighted to welcome such a prestigious brand as Motorpoint to the Wyvern Business Park.
