The Blade in Reading has welcomed new occupier MSAB to its iconic commercial office space. MSAB (Micro Systemation AB) is the global leader in digital forensic technology for mobile device examination and analysis. The company recently moved into the 13th floor of The Blade, occupying a 2,884 sq ft open plan office with impressive views of Reading and the Thames Valley.

A bespoke fit out was completed for MSAB before the team moved in. The plans included created training facilities and meeting rooms alongside an open plan office space. The office will be occupied by MSAB’s UK team and act as a hub for colleagues visiting from the company’s other offices including from the headquarters in Sweden.

MSAB has relocated to The Blade from Central Point in Reading. The move to the new office on the north side of The Blade was prompted by continuing growth and the need to offer the right blend of meeting, training and office space.

Kim Sjölund, Senior Vice President at MASB comments: “We are excited to become part of the community at The Blade. As an iconic building in the heart of Reading with great accessibility for commuters it was an ideal choice of location. The space is both functional for our needs and provides an excellent work environment for our team and visiting customers. And of course the view is stunning and certainly adds that extra wow to anyone working here or visiting us!”

Nick Turner, Asset Manager at The Blade, comments: “We are so pleased to welcome the MSAB team to The Blade. The combination of our location, facilities and impressive space appealed to the UK team who were keen to secure an inspiring office as part of the next phase of their growth plans. We’re looking forward to supporting them as they settle in and become an important part of our business community.”
