From the Wikipedia article
The RAC Regional Control Centre is an operations and administration building located in Bradley Stoke, England. Designed by Grimshaw Architects and completed in 1994, it serves as the South West regional headquarters for RAC Limited. The building forms part of Almondsbury Business Park at the northern edge of the Bristol North Fringe. It is one of the RAC’s three principal regional centres, the others being located at Bescot and Stretford. While Bescot serves as the primary operations hub for vehicle breakdown response, the Bradley Stoke site accommodates administrative and customer service functions. When fully staffed, the building supports approximately 800 employees.

Background
History
The RAC Regional Control Centre was developed during the early 1990s as part of the expansion of Almondsbury Business Park in South Gloucestershire. In 2013, the centre attracted media attention when changes to pay structure of employees in the call centre prompted criticism from staff. Under the ownership of the Carlyle Group, performance-based contracts were introduced, reportedly reducing some base salaries by up to 28 per cent.
