Headquarters
When BOC was a global company, the head office of BOC was in Windlesham, a small village approximately 25 miles south west of London. The office, built in the 1980s is a fine example of modern architecture and when seen from the air resembles the shape of an oxygen molecule. Today, this office stands empty and is currently for sale. Many of the staff that were based in the Windlesham office have since moved to the BOC office in Guildford and the Linde Group new head office in Munich, Germany.
