Bolton

An office less ordinary

AO Have a look around

Parklands is our 5 storey head office based in Bolton, the very town where AO was founded in 2000. It houses our inbound contact centre as well as IT, Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, Trade, Ecommerce, Brand and People.

Everywhere you look at our Bolton head office you’ll see our culture shining through, from the decor to the collaborative layout. You can even fuel up with a free breakfast, grab a Starbucks, enjoy a game of table tennis or have a relaxing massage in the Spa.

On-site Spa

The Spa is AO's heavily subsidised salon which offers a variety of different treatments including Hair Styling, Waxing, Gel Nails and more
