WH Smith’s headquarters are set for demolition – but the future of the company in the town is secure.
Planners have given the go-ahead to build 134 homes, a nursery and a care home.
The company, which employs 450 senior managers and consultants at its Greenbridge office, has pledged that it will remain in the town and is currently working with Swindon Borough Council and Forward Swindon to look for a suitable alternative headquarters building in the borough.
WH Smith, which has been based in the 6,500 sq m office since the 1980s, have been forced to consider the move because of the changing nature of their business and the fact that their current offices are needing repair work.

At One Vision Signs, Swindon, we were devastated to hear this news. We had such an experience putting the signage up on the tower - it'll be a shame to see it leave the skies of Swindon for good.
