Under normal circumstances this car park would be full. Nationwide is a successful financial services company with its headquarters at the Pipers Way site. It is so successful that it has had to expand into several satellite offices around Swindon. With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic Nationwide quickly introduced a 'working from home' strategy meaning that around 90% of staff members are now working from home. The satellite offices are now mothballed and the few staff still working on-site are in Pipers Way. The number of those is so small that the car parks surrounding the HQ remain virtually empty.
