Connectivity provisions and issues are one of the leading requirements when searching for new office space, as they have an impact on productivity, potential growth and the overall efficiency of a business. Wiredscore has established an international rating service that outlines the infrastructure, connectivity and technological capability of a building.

The Shard has been awarded one of the highest connectivity accolades available for buildings throughout the UK, achieving a ‘Wired Platinum Certificate’ from rating company Wiredscore. This seriously impressive score means that companies based in the iconic structure benefit from access to the very latest in telecommunications. 

Fraser Williams, Director at tenant acquisition specialists Morgan Pryce, believes that businesses are looking for the best possible connectivity, now more so than ever; “London is the global centre of many industries, and more and more companies need super high connectivity to function day-to-day. However, it is not necessarily readily available in all locations. The Wiredscore is a great rating tool to help evaluate a building’s connectivity and technological infrastructure when considering a potential office move. We are seeing an increasing number of companies factoring in the connectivity of a building over other factors that have historically taken precedence.”
