The John Lewis Partnership has acquired several new buildings in Bracknell, including two office units.

With its food subsidiary Waitrose already based in the town, the department store company has purchased space at Hyde House and Holland House in the Southern Industrial Area, Get Bracknell reports.

As well as the new office space in Bracknell, John Lewis now owns the Panasonic gym and sports hall near Waitrose's head office in Doncastle Road.

"We acquired Hyde House at the end of last year," a spokesperson told the news provider.

"Some of the space will be used as the new headquarters for our partnership services division."

Hyde House contains 40,000 sq ft of office space, while a further 25,000 sq ft is available at Holland House.

Last month, technology firm Brocade Communications signed up to rent offices in Bracknell at One The Braccans on London Road, a building that was formerly occupied by Johnson & Johnson.
