British brand returns to Milton Park with a bespoke HQ to support future growth
British interiors brand OKA has relocated its headquarters to the UK’s largest innovation community, Milton Park, Oxfordshire, marking a stylish return to the innovation campus where its growth journey began in 2009.
Following the brand’s 25th anniversary, OKA has relocated its head office function into a 12,971 sq ft office, which has been customised to showcase the brand’s signature style and heritage.
Founded in 1999 by Annabel Astor, Sue Jones and Lucinda Waterhouse, OKA began as a mail-order business born out of a shared passion for sourcing unique, ethically made homeware from quality artisans in India and China.
The company has since grown into a national brand, with 13 retail locations and a thriving digital and high street presence.
When the company outgrew Annabel’s barn, the team relocated to Milton Park in 2009, where they stayed until 2021.
Returning to Milton Park four years later, the new 152 Brook Drive headquarters has brought together OKA’s support functions under one roof. The new single-storey, open-plan space has created a more collaborative and agile way of working for the team.
