Portsmouth’s leading business campus, Lakeside North Harbour, won the Best Workplace Experience of the Year at the IWFM Impact Awards.
At this year’s workplace and facilities management industry’s most prestigious event, Lakeside was honoured with an award recognising a major milestone in the campus’s evolution: the launch of ‘My Lakeside’, a Workplace Experience Digital Platform designed to connect, inform, and engage the campus community.
Since the launch of ‘My Lakeside’, through Avison Young, who manage the Lakeside business campus, the onsite community spirit has increased by 20%, this is measured through annual occupier surveys. Ongoing feedback can be quickly and easily generated through the app, which provides vital insight used to continuously improve customer experience solutions and site facilities.
This award is recognition of Lakeside’s commitment to inclusive work cultures and providing quality work environments, which Lakeside North Harbour and Portsmouth City Council value highly.
Emma Parkin, Head of Engagement, Avison Young: “We are thrilled that the team has been recognised at the IWFM Awards this year, for our work on the My Lakeside platform—which we designed to elevate occupier experience and transform how people connect with their workplace. To be recognised as a standout in innovation, engagement, and impact is a huge achievement, and everyone involved in making this happen is very proud.”
Simon Bateman, Asset Manager at Lakeside North Harbour, said: “Our campus offers an inspiring and relaxing environment, creating a unique experience for everyone. This includes our commitment to occupier experience, with a 130-acre site that sets us apart, alongside modern facilities for all.
“Lakeside is more than just a workplace; it’s a collaborative environment redefining the concept of where and how we work.”ace Experience
