As part of the landmark BT Tower (now known as the Telecom Tower), the Presentation Suite created in 1999 from the conversion of two squash courts enables the Chairman to give a simultaneous broadcast to all branches around the world.

Anne Minors Performance Consultants chose to orientate the 150-seat space along the wide axis as only a small stage was required and the video technology allowed for good sightlines to the screens. The project also included a small television studio and meeting rooms with electrically controlled glass to make them opaque when occupied.
