Birketts opened its Bristol office in 2024, having operated a ‘hub’ in the area since January 2021.
The firm is based in EQ; a pioneering office development located in the heart of Bristol, just a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads train station.
The office has a strong sector focus, including Financial Institutions, Insurance, Private Wealth, Renewables & Clean Energy, Agribusiness, and Shipping & International Trade.
Why chose Birketts in Bristol?

Local Charity
We are great believers in supporting initiatives that promote opportunity and diversity and supporting voluntary causes. Womankind Bristol is the office’s chosen charity, and we are also sponsors of Bristol Ladies FC. Womankind is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. The organisation was founded in 1986 and since that time has provided a range of services for women with mental health problems in the Bristol area. Their mission is to help women improve their mental health and well-being.
Birketts Charitable Fund
The local community is very important to us, and our established charitable fund, the Birketts Charitable Fund, managed by a local community foundation, is committed to supporting locally based charitable projects. We are in the process of establishing a link with a suitable Bristol Community Foundation.
Accessibility
A ramp is located on the left-hand side of the lobby. The speed gate on the far left is a wide access gate, providing ample room for wheelchairs, trolleys, and other units to pass through easily. This gate is also equipped with an accessible QR and card reader.
Floors one to seven feature disabled access toilets, with an additional facility on the ground floor in the north core stair lobby. The basement male and female shower rooms each include one accessible shower. Both the main and secondary entrances are fitted with DDA-powered doors.
Where to park
There is no parking at the EQ building. Temple Quarter Car Park and Portwall Lane Car Park are both close to the office.
Nearest train station
Bristol Temple Meads (BS1 6QF) is the closest station, and is less than a ten-minute walk to the office.
