"A senior member of Spelthorne Borough Council stated, 'They've been a great employer, they've been great for the borough, and (BP) is going to be really sadly missed.'"
"A BP spokesperson mentioned, 'This office move will help us to work smarter and faster, strengthen decision-making, and create more opportunities for meaningful, in-person collaboration.'"

BP is set to leave its offices in Sunbury and St James's Square, moving to Timber Square in Southwark by 2028. The company employs about 1,800 staff in Sunbury, and a senior member of Spelthorne Borough Council expressed concerns about the local impact. BP aims to enhance efficiency and collaboration through this move. The council plans to work with BP to explore options that benefit the community and local employment while addressing the challenges posed by the relocation.
